I am from Texas, I work in a 1300 bed minimum/medium security state prison. I am a Chronic and infectuous disease nurse.I love my work...and have found it quite rewarding in many ways. I have been a nurse for 25 years, and have seen alot of things in prison nursing that I never saw in the free world. SOme of the sickest people I have ever met have been here. ALot of it a result of life style...alot of it from self neglect secondary to that life style. I now understand the ong term effects of sexual and physical abuse of people...something I have never seen before. In the free world you see the children it is occuring to, but it prison you see what is left after they have grown. Many crimes are the result of that abuse and it's long term effects on the psychy. But I love it!!

Hi,

Greetings from Berlin, Germany.

I work at the Berlin State Correctional Hospital and we are as good as government gets.:D

They talk alot about privatisation in some states but so far the test runs didn´t work that well.
