| Summary |
"Each person confined in jails, prisons, and juvenile detention facilities must be afforded unimpeded access to needed health care. Such persons, without risk of interference or fear of reprisal, should be able to alert health care staff of a medical need, obtain a timely professional evaluation of that need, and receive treatment in the manner prescribed by a competent provider. This book focuses on access to health care services by special populations in correctional institutions (women, youths, elderly, persons with dementia, and the terminally ill) and includes important information on privatization in corrections. Some topics covered include mass incarceration, intake health screening, copayment, gender sensitivity, special problems of women and girls in corrections, pregnancy and maternity, plight of young persons in the justice system, aging behind bars, peer volunteers, restraints, palliative care, and transitional case management. The book concludes with end- of-life care in prison, hospice, palliative care, and compassionate release. It will serve as an invaluable tool for correctional officers, health care providers, justice and legal professionals, social workers, mental health professionals, and counselors"-- Provided by publisher. |
