Abstract
Because of the restricted access, vulnerability of the prison population, increase in drug-resistant TB, the TB control activities in the prison require restructuring. Initial screening for early diagnosis and treatment and “Discharge planning” needs to be devised so that there is sufficient time before release or transfer of individuals from prison. This needs strong commitment from the prison health authorities and RNTCP staff.
