Louisiana state penitentiary : a textual analysis of correctional staff views on end-of-life care

Article indépendant

KAUSHIK, Shivani | CURRIN-MCCULLOCH, Jennifer

As prison-based hospice programs are slowly implemented across the United States, scarce attention has been devoted to the views of correctional staff who provide essential end-of-life care to dying incarcerated individuals. These professionals must maneuver their diverse responsibilities and emotional perspectives to deliver compassionate care to a marginalized population. A textual analysis of narratives of correctional staff participating in the hospice program at Louisiana State Penitentiary was incorporated to explore the transformative experiences resulting from staff members' collaboration with incarcerated volunteers to dispense hospice-based care for critically ill incarcerated individuals. Prevalent themes focus on provider identity, role satisfaction, bonds with incarcerated individuals, and achieving care mandates. Future research should further examine end-of-life care provider narratives to effectively address the unmet needs of dying incarcerated individuals.
