- Abstract in English : Sub-environments within the prison for causal variables related to increased rates of healthcare utilization has been studied. Speculation is that unique combinations and accumulations of environmental stresses exist in sub-environments which are causal. This study indicated a relationship between inmates’ use of health care facilities at this prison and the view from their cell. The prisoners with a view at the surrounding farmland sought health care least of all. In other words, those who looked out onto the farmland were better of.
