Help on culture project

Hello Everyone.

I am a current adult NP student and in a cultural diversity class. I have a project coming up and need some help, info and/or direction for info. The project involves the cultural values of prisoners. With that being said, the goal is to provide "culturally sensitive nursing care". The instructor is looking for is not so much how is health care delivered to this particular culture, but rather what values (or things that this population hold important) do they have and how does this impact their healthcare options, in addition to this, how can we as future APN's help provide more competent care based on our new knowledge of their culture.

All thoughts and suggestions are greatly appreciated. I have also posted this on the correctional nursing forum.

As a starting point, you might try Google. When I typed in 'prison healthcare culture', it returned 6.7 million hits. While I doubt that ALL of those are going to be useful, it looks like there are a few links on the first few pages that will get you off to a good start. I would think that the grassroots prisoner rights organizations would provide some of the best insights into prison culture and the needs/wants of prisoners.
