This paper draws on a study of discharge planning for HIV-infected inmates in 10 large state correctional systems as well as on a review of literature to identify key elements associated with successful programs in the areas of organization and structure (e.g., dedicated staff and formal collaborations with health departments, community-based organizations, and parole agencies), program operations (e.g., continuity of care mechanisms, access to eligible clients, arrangement of specific appointments with community providers, provision of supplies of medications at release, and assistance with basic needs) and policy (e.g., dedicated funding, improved community-based services, and better and more timely access to public benefit programs).
