Randy, It is impossible to reason with the elite intelligentsia -- and those who imagine themselves to belong to that category. You are bucking a whole lot of intellectual dishonesty in this thread. There are three broad categories of nurses who work in corrections: Those who do so out of a sense of calling to minister to the condemned, those who suffer from an inferiority complex and can only feel superior in the company of the condemned --- and those who can't get hired anyplace else, for varied and sundry reasons. You are right to express compassion toward inmates. I know you also set firm boundaries. So do I. Just ignore the turkeys.
