“…For instance, one study conducted in a state prison found that nearly 80% of older prisoners had experienced at least one or more traumatic or stressful events during their lifetime (Haugebrook, Zgoba, Maschi, Morgen, & Brown, 2010).

This included episodes of major distress over the past year, with more than half of participants reporting abuse or stress while incarcerated, money problems, and high levels of subjective distress (Maschi et al, 2014).…”
