Psychiatric RN position at a Correctional facility?

Published

Could anyone please tell me if they know of anyone that works as a psych RN at a correctional facility, what their job description is and what their salary is for that position? I am interested in pursuing a career in this area but am unsure as to what it entails. Your advise and suggestions are greatly appreciated. :)

Do you work in Chilli? I never heard of any sexual misconduct in either prison but of course I just started too. I love my job and I love the people that I work with. I am very impressed with the way that they do things in this prison and the way that they are actually trying to make a difference in the women's lives. It's a very clean prison and the inmates are so well behaved (most of the time ha ha). I am really glad that I have been given this opportunity to work in this prison setting.

One of the first questions put to me relative to Missouri was whether or not I could actually locate a big load of washer dryers which had seemingly left Chillicothe. The later (and inevitable) follow-up letters from various inmates neglected to mention it, so I presumed that they had just as mysteriously returned. In 2002 they made sexual misconduct a crime in Missouri.

There was a variety of sexual misconduct at Vandalia, I think about 8 or so people etc. had to go there and in the county jails (which were far worse) there was quite a lot of sexual abuse, coerced strip shows etc. I think the total for sexual misconduct for the state, was probably about thirty or so. Most of the other complaints I was (invariably) given related to medical issues.

Female inmates are usually a walk in the park. I have not been involved with corrections in Missouri for years. Missouri wasn't really my best work and I never mention it at conferences or write about it etc. Have they refurnished the buildings? I seem to recall rats and broken windows at Chillicothe. Most of the sexual misconduct was in the county jail system, the victims migrated via the system to Vandalia and Chillicothe as you would expect and we picked up a few more complaints along the way.

I eventually and quite unnecessarily upset one or two politicians who might otherwise have stayed friendly. I did not want to be working on issues in Missouri and I tried to rush it. I already had enough on my plate. I did get complaints from inmates at Chillicothe but much of that was outside my remit. I attempted to refer it to somebody important but he was always on a fishing trip. I remember that because I thought it was really funny. In retrospect I should have went fishing with him.
