Popis:	It is persuasively argued that a new vision of penology is emerging based on offender classification techniques in which offenders are rationally distributed into groups according to the degree of control warranted by their risk profiles. This article extends the concept of risk within the new penology framework to include health risk. Data from female prisoners showed that many of the women in the sample had at one time in their lives acquired sexually transmitted diseases, had engaged in high-risk sexual activities, and drug taking behavior. Community health agents and social workers will emerge as control agents to supervise prisoners in the free community with public health risk profiles.
