Abstract
This chapter is divided into four sections and will commence with the history of healthcare within prisons in the United States and England and Wales. The first section will introduce landmark litigations and pioneers who have successfully influenced the development of prison healthcare, as well as a timeline of relevant policies and partnerships including how the role of the nurse emerged and developed. The second section will explore the professional identity of nursing, specifically the professional identity of a nurse working within a prison, as well as concepts of emotional labour and moral distress. The third section focuses on the therapeutic relationship between a nurse and a patient (prisoner), as well as a discussion on care versus security, when security of the prison, staff and prisoners is a priority over the provision of healthcare. The last section explores the need of nurses to collaborate with non-healthcare professionals to provide care to prisoners, including prison officers, but also prisoners who may have been trained to support and care for their fellow prisoners, and charitable organisations.
