AJN editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy speaks with co-author Susan J. Loeb about her article “End-of-Life Care Behind Bars: A Systematic Review.”
From 1995 to 2010, U.S. prisons saw a 282% rise in the number of older inmates (ages 55 and older), and between 2001 and 2007, nearly 8,500 prisoners ages 55 and older died while incarcerated. AJN’s editor-in-chief Shawn Kennedy speaks with one of the authors about their review of the literature, in which they reveal the challenges of providing end-of-life care to prisoners and suggest steps nurses can take to improve this care and address the challenges faced by dying inmates and the inmate volunteers who care for them.
