Prevalencies five to ten times the national average are not uncommon and can be up to 50 times the reported national average.2 3 Tuberculosis may be a, or even the, major cause of death in prisons in developing countries, with mortality rates as high as 24%.4 In the case of tuberculosis, it is better to do nothing than to do something badly—and failure to complete courses of treatment can have disastrous results, leading to the development of multidrug resistant strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis .The problems described here apply essentially to countries where problems of low income are accompanied by a high prevalence of the disease. Prisons are full beyond capacity, with prisoners from impoverished unhealthy backgrounds living in an even unhealthier environment.
