Abstract
As the criminal justice system set different sentencing guidelines for criminal offenses and the population of incarcerated increases, there also a growing number of incarcerated older adults in the prison system. The available literature regarding their experiences helps to explain how they manage the aging process under non-normative circumstances compared to those who are not incarcerated. However, even with the existing literature, more investigation is needed to better understand how prison culture impacts the overall well-being of incarcerated older adults. With a focus on incarcerated older men, this systematic review of the literature seeks to find similarities between experiences within this population and make recommendations. These similarities are analyzed through the framework of the life course perspective.
