Healthcare in Prison: An Inside Look
Abstract
Often depicted in films and television, much of what the general population knows about prison—particularly the infirmaries—comes from Hollywood. Patient Safety managing editor, Caitlyn Allen, sat down with Erica Benning, Bureau of Healthcare director for the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (PA DOC), to discuss healthcare delivery for almost 40,000 incarcerated individuals: what can be done in-house, how her team handles inmates with mental illness, their COVID response, and more.
