The Facility - Folsom State Prison
Folsom State Prison is located in Represa California and is one of the oldest correctional facilities in the state. Originally opened in the 1880's as one of the first maximum-security institutions, today the facility houses minimum and medium-security inmates. Until recently, Folsom only housed male offenders, now it has begun housing women in a separate stand-alone facility
People may recognize this prison as the subject of a Johnny Cash song entitled "Folsom Prison Blues ". This facility has also housed some of the most infamous inmates including, Suge Knight, Rick James, and Charles Manson. This facility is responsible for manufacturing the vast majority of California License plates. This institution has also been an on site filming location for several movies. Folsom Prison has a rich history and dates back to the late 1800's, it was also the first correctional facility ever to have electricity.
Physician's Role in Correctional Medicine
Physicians have a complicated role in correctional health care. It is "primary care" at a high and extensive level. Physicians in corrections have a captive audience of patients, literally and figuratively, that need a wide variety of medical care. Incarcerated individuals enter and stay in your practice with every possible medical condition. Many of these patients may have had little or no prior medical, dental or mental health care, other than emergency room visits. The correctional physician must be prepared for this population. Many of these patients may have current or past substance abuse issues. Many of these patients may have poor coping skills and even a mind-set to defy authority.
It goes without saying that the correctional doctor has a tremendous role in the provision of medical care. However, that role often goes far beyond seeing patients and giving care. Not only must the correctional physician manage health care, they may also have a significant administrative role in direct health care, in the system of health care, and in health care policy, procedures, and standards. A physician working in corrections must be aware of and balance interests of good solid medical practice, medical board requirements, court findings, the safety and security of the facility, the individuals in the facility, and the community, all while working in an environment not specifically created for the purpose of health care. A physician may have to take on multiple roles beyond direct one-on-one patient care while working in a correctional facility. Although many of these roles have similar practice experiences outside of corrections they can become co-occurring roles for a physician in corrections.
