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.
