correctional nurse from Germany on vacation in TN


Hello fellow nurses,

My name is Tim and I am a correctional nurse / officer from Berlin, Germany.
I work in the State "Prison-Hospital" (Justizvollzugskrankenhaus) Berlin.
I work in the psychiatric departement (Abteilung fuer Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie).

I am looking forward to spending my holidays in Memphis with my cousins family.
If possible I would like to see how correctional nursing is done in the U.S.A. .

So it would be nice if any nurses from Tennessee or states near by (I will be renting a car anyway), could
send me in the right direction on how to set up a visit to a correctional institution.

Or if that would be the case, tell me that such visits are not possible.

I would be grateful for any input on the subject, and I am looking forward to hear from you.

Where I work, such visits would be very difficult.

I work in corrections often in Texas, and because of security restrictions, I believe getting in any correctional facility would be extremely difficult. The only way would likely be if you contacted the Nurse manager and told her what you wanted to see, and have her try to arrange a visit in advance. But, normally before you are allowed in, all the security checks have to be done, etc.
