Abstract
Correctional nurses face multifaceted challenges from burnout and ethical dilemmas to managing chronic diseases, suicide risk, and opioid use disorder in carceral settings. They are vital for patient safety and forensic risk management, navigating resource limitations and security constraints. This includes adapting to crises like COVID-19 and leveraging innovations such as telehealth. Comprehensive support, standardized training, and ethical policies are essential to enhance nurse well-being and improve healthcare outcomes for incarcerated individuals, ensuring humane and effective care.
