Nurses who work in a jail environment face particular challenges and issues that are part of the broader field of correctional health care. This research addresses the perceptions of nurses in the jail environment and how social processing affects the delivery of care. Prior experience and sources of primary socialization may also play a factor in the shaping of perceptions. The data indicate that a typology of correctional nursing styles can be constructed. Future research would benefit from the collection of quantitative, inferential data to compare with the current findings.

Key Words: jail nurses • correctional health care • nursing styles • stigmatization
