    In prisons and jails, a lack of sleep may harm health and safety

    A new report from the Prison and Jail Innovation Lab at the University of Texas at Austin highlights that sleep disruption is common in U.S. prisons and jails due to factors like bright lights, noise, and overnight procedures. Chronic sleep deprivation in these facilities is linked to health issues such as cardiovascular disease and mental health problems, as well as increased risks for staff and incarcerated individuals.
