Abstract

Research has revealed an association between incarceration and food hardship at the individual level. Other studies also find that county jail incarceration rates are associated with worse population health. The aim of this study is to cross-fertilize these literatures by examining the relationship between jail incarceration and food hardship rates across United States counties.
