Incarcerated people can be included in testing when research falls under the following categories: "1) a study of criminal behavior; 2) a study of prisons as institutional structures or prisoners as incarcerated persons; 3) research on conditions particularly affecting prisoners as a class; and 4) research on practices which have the intent and reasonable probability of improving the health or well-being of the subject" (Harvard Civil Rights, 2018).
