Advantages Of Hospice Care And Age-Segregation
The way I would present the advantages of hospice care and age-segregation to my fellow correctional officers is first I would talk about both programs separately (Schmallegar & Smykla 2015). The first I would talk about hospice care. Hospice care lets the prisoner die with dignity and humanity in an environment that facilitates mental and spiritual preparation for the natural process of dying. Hospice also honors the patient’s support system, including his family and maintain end-of-life care system consistent with “free-world” standards. I would then discuss the advantages of age-segregated prisons (Schmallegar & Smykla 2015). I would give them four reasons for age-segregation. The first is is allows correctional authorities to relocate
older prisoners from institutions that are designed for younger inmates and transfer them to institutions that are specific and specialized to the healthcare needs of the older prisoners. The second is it not financially cost effective to make changes to all the prisons in the United States to comply with the American Disabilities Act of 1990 and it could also reduce civil liabilities if all the disability services were in one place. The third is age-segregated prisons advance prisoner safety. This means that younger prisoner would not be able to victimize or attack vulnerable elderly prisoners. The fourth is age-segregated systems would promote rehabilitation by advancing age-specific opportunities.
Therefore, in my opinion, the advantages would make the prisons safer and promote healthier living with the older population.
