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

    A report from the University of Texas at Austin's Prison and Jail Innovation Lab highlights that sleep disruption in U.S. prisons and jails, caused by factors like noise and overnight head counts, harms physical and mental health, increases facility tensions, and poses long-term challenges. The study recommends policy changes such as reducing nighttime disruptions and improving bedding to address chronic sleep deprivation among incarcerated individuals.
