Prisoner health care.

From New York City's Bellevue Hospital comes this discussion of difficulties in dealing with a prisoner/patient population. Authors Gage and Goldfrank discuss staff bias, prisoner/patient security, and difficulties in maintaining on-going health care in a "less than optimal system." While prison health is beyond the realm of work for a relatively small number of physicians, the size of the U.S. prison population makes it a significant part of health care in the United States.
