Answer to Question 1

Improvements still need to be made in reforming prison health care. Areas that remain an area of concern include:

 Failure to refer seriously ill inmates for treatment.
 Delays in treatment.
 Lack of qualified personnel and resources and use of nonmedical staff.
 Charges for medical attention.
 Inadequate reproductive health care.
 Shackling during pregnancy.
 Lack of treatment for substance abuse.
 Lack of adequate or appropriate mental health services.

Answer to Question 2

The correctional counselor has several functions in a women's prison. They provide casework to offenders and help them through the process of incarceration by assisting them with concerns related to transition and family. They are viewed as advocates for the offenders to make sure their basic needs are met. They provide data and reports to wardens, medical personnel, and the parole board by offering recommendations. Their role is important in women's facilities as an advocate and to assist women in making good choices for themselves and their families. They ensure that the program objectives are developed and individualized to meet the needs of each offender and, hopefully, assist them in learning new skills and tools to help them be successful upon release.

Did you know?

As many as 28% of hospitalized patients requiring mechanical ventilators to help them breathe (for more than 48 hours) will develop ventilator-associated pneumonia. Current therapy involves intravenous antibiotics, but new antibiotics that can be inhaled (and more directly treat the infection) are being developed.

Did you know?

Alzheimer's disease affects only about 10% of people older than 65 years of age. Most forms of decreased mental function and dementia are caused by disuse (letting the mind get lazy).

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Did you know?

There are more nerve cells in one human brain than there are stars in the Milky Way.

Did you know?

Many supplement containers do not even contain what their labels say. There are many documented reports of products containing much less, or more, that what is listed on their labels. They may also contain undisclosed prescription drugs and even contaminants.
