Release from Prison — A High Risk of Death for Former Inmates . The second sentence of the first paragraph should have read "At the end of 2001, there were approximately 5.6 million adults who had ever been incarcerated in a state or federal prison,2 not including stays in local jails," rather than "At the end of 2001, approximately 5.6 million adults were incarcerated in a state or federal prison" as printed. Also, in the second paragraph in the Results section, the fifth sentence should have read "In contrast, the calculated mortality rate for Washington State residents of the same age, sex, and race as the former inmates was 223 deaths per 100,000 person-years," rather than "266 deaths per 100,000 person-years." Similarly, in the legend to Figure 1, the first sentence should have read "The dashed line represents the adjusted mortality rate for residents of the State of Washington (223 deaths per 100,000 person-years)," rather than "266 deaths per 100,000 person-years." The text has been corrected on the Journal's Web site at www.nejm.org.
