  13. Why is corrections nursing so litigious?

    Money: Friends, family, criminal activity, inmate jobs. In many cases, though, inmates write the suit themselves and can file it for little or no cost based on laws designed to protect the ability of inmates to file suits for their own protection aga...
  14. Why is corrections nursing so litigious?
