Persons with incarceration histories have a greater risk of reporting moderate-to-severe pain (prevalence ratio [PR]\u2005=\u20051.30, 95% confidence Interval [CI]: 1.20, 1.52) and pain with physical limitations (PR\u2005=\u20051.48, 95% CI: 1.30, 1.68) even after adjusting for sociodemographic covariates and early life experiences.
