At approximately 1538 hrs. Inmate Shillinger, Sheena MNI# 000421 was in Booking Release cell 105 waiting for a D.C.F visit.

Week Eight Response to Jurgensen Michael, I chose the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) role in the emergency department (ED) for my project as well. However, the CNL facilitating the implementation of care for the ED boarded psychiatric patient is brilliant, and not something I had considered. Likewise, our ED boards psychiatric patients, frequently for numerous days prior obtaining inpatient placement for them. In various facilities a physician assistant (PA) assumes the responsibilities for establishing ED boarded psychiatric patient care, however, the CNL stands as a considerably superior individual to expedite care during the transitional period for the ED psychiatric patient boarding for extended periods (Jayaram, 2006).

The inmates were treated so poorly that they felt they needed to retaliate against the guards. Working in a prison is a possible career choice for me, this book taught me issues that can arise while working in a prison. As a correctional officer, I want to be a productive and effective, I will be friendly with the inmates but not become friends. Treating them with respect will often times result in them giving respect back, which will make them trust and respect your authority. I will be attentive of my surroundings and inmate interactions.

The facility was to be owned and operated by Correctional Corporation of America. The group formed in response to this and because of the CCA owned prison in Youngstown that has had many questionable escapes and deaths. This purposive group formed in response to an enemy. So far, the group has mainly targeted the general public, the mass media, and other interest groups. They havent successfully targeted policy makers.

People who are incarcerated does not have a choice from whom they seek healthcare service from when it comes to their medical needs. Their circumstance should not dictate if they are entitled to quality ethical service or not. According to Findlaw.com Inmates are entitled to medical care and attention as needed to treat illnesses whether it be on a long or short term basis. In our facility alone we receive over 150 greviances a month with inmates complaining of not having their needs entirely met due to correctional regulations and poor service. The most ethical practices to help combat these issues is to promote patient advocacy, ensure accessibility to care, and to always be respectful.

It is a shocking truth that privatized prisons in America are getting paid for having a certain amount of inmates filling their beds. Between 1990 and 2009, the number of private prison inmates increased by more that 1600 percent and 65 percent of all private prison contracts pay private prisons a set amount of cash per prisoner. AZ, OK, LA and VA all have contracts that require 95% to 100% occupancy in private prisons at all times. When the prisons dont meet this percentage, they have to pay. Or in some corrupt and terrible situations the prisons pay members of authority to arrest and put people in their prisons so they dont have to pay and can get more money because their beds are full.

Inmates should follow a standard grievance process prior to filing with the courts. The grievance process allow to official to address the inmates’ complaints internally within the correctional facility. This process helps to provide a solution “without violence, direct confrontation, and the inmate going to court to file a formal legal complaint (Cripe, Chapter 5).” With the resolution of the grievance, there will a decrease number of lawsuits filed. If lawsuits are filed, the grievance complaint and step taken by the correctional facility are records, which enable to courts to process the lawsuit quicker.

Provide training to all prison staff on mental health issues. Training should reinforce staff understanding of mental disorders, raise awareness on human rights, challenge stigmatizing attitudes and encourage mental health promotion for guards and inmates. In addition, prison health workers need more specialized skills to identify and manage the prisoners’ mental health. According to HM Prison Probation & Service (2018), prison staff ‘keep those sentenced to prison in custody, helping them lead law-abiding and useful lives, both while they are in prison and after they are released.’ It believes that prison staff will play a huge part in the life of an offender, helping them to learn and develop new skills (HM Prison Probation & Service,

Although some believe that criminals do not deserve the same rights as civilians, the transition from the real world to life behind bars is taking enough rights away on its own. Prisoners should be protected from cruel and unusual punishment, sexual harassment and sex crimes, and poor living conditions. These crimes behind the walls of prisons make it difficult for inmates to adapt and feel safe. Their safety is being neglected, not only by other prisoners, but by the workers themselves (Hunter). Staff members get away with these crimes so easily; in return, they provide resources to the prisoners that are challenging to get such as cigarettes, extra telephone cards, and helping them pass drug tests.

A prisoner is any person who has been deprived of personal liberty against his or her will following conviction of a crime or to prevent the possible commitment of a crime. Accordingly, the term ‘rights of prisoners’ refers to the nature and extent of the privileges afforded to the individuals kept in custody or confinement against their will because they have been convicted of performing an unlawful act or because there is reasonable apprehension of possible commitment of a crime. From the above definition a line of demarcation can be drawn between persons who are arrested after the commission of a crime and persons who are arrested on grounds of suspicion that some crime might be committed by the concerned person in future.
