Abstract
The prevalence of LTBI in a rural jail (0.8%) is lower than the comparative sample population at a local hospital (4.9%). The rapid release of inmates (6.7%) indicates that TB data is incomplete and that potential cases of LTBI could have been unreported because of missed opportunity for interpretation of skin tests.
