You could be a what society calls it a Goth and you could be in a sexual hospital and the nurse seeing you has to accept how you present yourself and respect your individuality. (1) Discrimination could lead to the individual or group not wanting or not knowing the services provide for them, restricting their opportunities. A nurse might have forgotten or done intentionally not told the health and social care user about the services that they can use this is called restricted
There is a conflict between the understandable medical practices, and the rules of prison. Recently clinicians have encountered a “bump in the road”: the lengthy solitary confinement of mentally ill prisoners has become a practice used by corrections resulting in more psychological damage to the prisoner. There has been scarce academic or professional regard to the unparalleled ethics-affined perplexity of all healthcare qualifiers when the mentally ill prisoners are secluded. When it comes to the well-being of the prisoners, as a society, we have turned a blind eye to the treatment of prisoner’s as a whole, which makes the unequal treatment of the mentally ill minority easy to do. Not only that, but consider this.
They struggle to make social connections and often cannot keep the ones they do make. For the seriously mentally ill, real freedom is hard to find. While many believe the policy of deinstitutionalization was a good thing, for the seriously mentally ill patient who needs constant care and daily therapy, the loss of that resource is tragic. A better understanding of how to divert mentally ill people who commit crimes away from prison is needed. Until then the cycle of prison to homeless to prison or worse will continue and the mentally ill will be doomed to a tragic life of never finding
Many believe that criminals should be treated cruel, but are they not being punished enough by being in prison? They no longer get to have privacy, their families, or careers and education. How far do you go before you feel that it is unacceptable? Should the prisoners not be treated as human beings? According to the eighth amendment they should.
The central debate over mental illness is not about its existence, but rather over how to define it (Christian Perring, 2010). Issues of mental illness intersect with important questions about responsibility and what consequences a mentally ill person should be tried with. There becomes a fine line when deciding whether to place a mentally ill person who has committed a crime into a prison or a psychiatric ward. With the tens of thousands of mentally ill that are positioned in prisons, physicians are torn by the difficulty of the segregation unit. The mentally ill may be incapable at times to psychologically make appropriate decisions for themselves but keeping a mentally ill prisoner in confinement over consecutive amounts of time violates
For the prisoners, they became depressed, psychologically distraught, dehumanized, and powerless. On the other hand, the guards made the most of their power to maintain prison standards by way of harassment, pornographic behaviors, and mind-bending tactics. In both situations, there was a incident of a rumor of a prison riot with didn’t occurred but aggravated the guards, which lead to more humiliation. The reality of these particular events is the simple fact that what occurred at Abu Ghraib was real, as for the Stanford Prison Experiment was nothing more than a research study on human behavior. When the Stanford Prison Experiment came to it’s end, the guards didn’t receive any form of punishment for their actions.
They are not able to be housed with general population in fear that they will be retaliated against by other prisoners. The inmates in this unit may consist of sex offenders, ex-police officers, child abusers, and even rejected gang members. For these reasons they are put into their own unit for their “protection” from harm that fellow inmates may want to inflict on
We will discuss some of the reason why correctional professional have relationship with inmates. Or are they looking for love or is it about having power over the inmates. Also why do the inmates do it and the consequent and danger than put fellow co-worker, staff member in by doing this kind of acting with inmates. When correctional officer breaks the ethical code, such as relationships with inmates this type of offense is taken very seriously. Not only is it a violation of the law, policies and procedures, but it puts the safety of all people in the correctional facility at risk.
It is not unusual for inmate to call attention to themselves by threatening suicide or even feigning an attempt in order to gain a housing relocation, transfer to the local hospital, receive preferential staff treatment, or seek compassion from a previously unsympathetic family member. Some inmate(s) simply use manipulation as a survival technique. Although there are no perfect solutions to the management of manipulative youth who threaten suicide or engage in self-injurious behavior for a perceived secondary gain, the critical issue is not how we label the behavior, but how we react to it. The reaction must include a multidisciplinary treatment plan. A disproportionate number of inmate(s) suicides take place in “special housing units” (disciplinary/administrative segregation) of the facility or under “room confinement.” A lack of inmate(s) on suicide precautions should not be interpreted as meaning that there are no currently suicidal inmates in the facility, or a barometer of sound suicide prevention
It is a humane and judicious way to allow a person relief from suffering that modern medicine has prolonged. There should be evaluation by a psychiatrist and all options of treatment should be explored. If the prognosis is still certain death or an egregious decline in quality of life, then physician assisted suicide should be an option for those who are capable of choosing it. With appropriate safeguards defined and a process to closely monitor extreme cases of suffering, this procedure should be on the table. If it isn’t, we are condemning people to a long and painful end without dignity or humanity and we are forcing their loved ones to stand by and watch, powerless to help them.
