Palliative care for prisoners

Mary Turner, Sheila Payne

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter suggests that the prison population as a whole has to contend with multiple and severe disadvantages in terms of health, education, ageing, ethnicity, and disability compared with the rest of the population. It argues that consequently the needs of dying prisoners (and their families) for supportive and palliative care can be far greater than for other patients.
