The United States incarcerates more persons than any other country. Older adults constitute the fastest-growing demographic of prisoners (Figure 1). The geriatric threshold in correctional facilities is age 55 or, in some states, age 50 (Williams et al., 2012), and it is based on a theory of increased vulnerability and accelerated aging (Han et al., 2021; Leob et al., 2008). Compared with the current 10%, it is estimated that by 2030, adults aged 55 or older will make up one-third of the people incarcerated in the United States (Skarupski et al., 2018). The number will continue to rise, without serious effort to reform the criminal justice system (Obama 2017). Many of the older prisoners are serving long sentences imposed during the “tough on crime” and “War on Drugs” movements exemplified by the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986. The laws underscored punishment rather than rehabilitation, resulting in mass incarceration, aptly described as a new Jim Crow era in the United States (Alexander, 2010). Moreover, two-thirds of incarcerated individuals are “persons of color.” Decades of systematic discrimination and a lack of proper access to mental health and social services, coupled with a rise in for-profit private prisons and an expensive bail system, resulted in disproportionate incarceration of already disadvantaged people (Han et al., 2021). The states with the least access to mental health care also have the highest rates of incarceration (Reinert et al., 2021). During his presidency, Barack Obama signed the Fair Sentencing Act into law, which helped ease the previous harsh sentencing guidelines. However, the new law is not retroactive and does not directly help those serving prior sentences. Though it was hoped the law would provide impetus to Governors, parole boards, and others with power to reduce existing sentences, there has been relatively little momentum in this regard. Aging in prisons remains a public health crisis.

The emergence of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been accompanied by a rise of anti-Asian violence that stems from a greater history of racism and xenophobia in the United States and abroad. Names like “China Virus” and “Kung Flu” used for COVID-19 by some state officials were rhetorical attacks with corporeal consequences on bodies racialized as Asian. Hate crimes and discrimination rose across America. Brazen and unprovoked assaults in public places left people injured or dead. Many Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) older adults and women were targeted specifically (Stop AAPI Hate, 2022a, 2022b). Nearly all (98.2%) AAPI older adults who experienced hate incidents between March 2020 to December 2021 believed the United States has become a more physically dangerous place, naming race, ethnicity, and gender as the top suspected reasons for their discrimination (Stop AAPI Hate, 2022a). Popular responses to anti-Asian violence have been mobilized around the #StopAAPIHate rallying cry. Major policy approaches have coalesced around bolstering hate crimes reporting. In May 2021, President Biden signed the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act, sponsored by Hawaii Senator Mazie Hirono (2021), into law. The bill seeks to create state-run hate crime hotlines, enhance law enforcement responses to attacks, and establish a position at the Department of Justice to expedite review of hate crime cases. According to Senator Hirono, “it was really important to the AAPI community to show that the Senate stood with them to condemn these totally unprovoked discriminatory and violent acts” (Shoenthal, 2021).
