Limited Access to Research Involving Incarcerated Persons as a Result of Protectionism by Oskar Neyra

“…Rigorous research protections in the United States originated after World War II, during which Nazi attorneys likened unethical experiments on Jewish people and others to practices common in U.S. correctional facilities.[2] With increased public awareness of research abuses in the wake of the infamous Tuskegee syphilis study, Congress appointed a national commission to create guidelines for research involving vulnerable populations, including the incarcerated.[3] Constituted under the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (DHEW), the commission produced Report and Recommendations: Research Involving Prisoners (hereinafter the “DHEW Report”).[4] The report recommended that incarcerated people “receive a fair share of the benefits of research,” and encouraged such research to be aimed toward improving “prisoners’ health and/or investigate the causes and effects of incarceration.”[5]  These regulations were incorporated into the 1979 Belmont Report and later into the “Common Rule.”[6] However, many groups representing vulnerable or minority populations, such as women’s rights advocacy and AIDS support groups, requested revisions of the DHEW Report to ensure that a “fair share of the benefits of research” was realized for minority populations, whose interests had not been originally considered.[7] This awareness campaign eventually led the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to loosen restrictions on vulnerable groups’ participation in research of more than minimal risk. …”
