Introduction: In 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated that 10 million people would develop Tuberculosis (TB) around the world; it also estimates that TB incidence in prisons is 100 times higher than in the general population. TB transmission is influenced by different determinants, one of the most important is overcrowding. Methods: An ecological study was conducted using Correctional Facilities (CF) as analysis unit based on the results of the 2016 Peruvian National Penitentiary Census. The outcome was Prevalence of self-reported TB (srTB) in each CF. Exposure was Overcrowding Index (inmates number / CF design capacity). Rho coefficients were obtained using Spearman correlation. For multivariate analysis, crude and adjusted beta coefficients were obtained using linear regression with robust variances. Results: 66 CFs participated in the Census. The median overcrowding rate per CF was 2.26 (RIC: 1.28-2.94). The prevalence of srTB in each CF ranged from 0 to 8977/100 thousand people, with the median being 496.1/100 thousand people (RIC: 0-2027). Rho coefficient between overcrowding and srTB was 0.24. In the multivariate model, factors associated with higher prevalence of srTB were higher overcrowding index (Beta 327; 95% CI 37: 617) and higher percentage of readmissions (Beta 153, IC95% 55: 250). Rainforest location (Beta -1372.8; -2202.1: -543.5) and lower percentage of work services use (Beta -33, IC95% -6: -60) were associated to lower prevalence. Conclusions: Our study found that a higher rate of overcrowding is associated with higher prevalence of self-reported TB. Other associated factors were higher percentage of readmissions, while rainforest location and lower percentage of work services use were associated to less prevalence.
