Leprosy survey conducted in eight prisons in seven districts of Bihar State revealed a prevalence of 13.3 per 1000 which was 12 times more than the recorded prevalence of leprosy in the State. Thus this finding supports the view that prisons could form a hyperendemic pocket for leprosy. Regular NLEP services need to be extended to the inmates of the prisons.
