Drawing from a growing body of research that suggests incarceration is a key social institution that impacts population health (Wildeman & Wang, 2017) , as well as a smaller body of research suggesting that incarceration may have spillover effects on healthcare (Schnittker et al., 2015) , the current study investigated whether increases in incarceration rates within countries over time are associated with changes in the number of hospital beds per capita. While this is the first study to examine the relationship between incarceration and hospital bed availability, this result is consistent with the Penrose (1939) hypothesis which is specific to psychiatric hospitalization, as well as prior research on incarceration and health care infrastructure at the sub-national level in the United States (Schnittker et al., 2015) .	./cache/cord-314383-1m2xkbok.txt	./txt/cord-314383-1m2xkbok.txt
