Nurses play a pivotal role in the criminal justice system, extending their expertise beyond traditional healthcare settings. Forensic nurses, for example, address the unique healthcare needs of individuals within the criminal justice system by providing care to victims of violence, collecting forensic evidence, and collaborating with law enforcement and legal teams. In correctional healthcare, nurses work within prisons and detention centers, addressing a range of medical issues, including chronic conditions, infectious diseases, and mental health concerns. Nurses in the criminal justice system contribute to health promotion and disease prevention initiatives, ensuring the well-being of individuals within this unique context.
