Vol. 1 · No. 1 — Q2 2026
Named for the bite-size, high-yield insight clinicians trade at the bedside, Corr Pearls distills the developments shaping correctional medicine into a single quarterly read. Each issue surveys infectious disease, substance use disorder and MAT, mental health, gender-affirming care, chronic disease and the aging population, and the federal and state policy landscape — always with an eye toward what is clinically and operationally actionable inside jails, prisons, and immigration detention.
