The aging, debilitated, and chronically ill correctional population presents growing challenges for a system built for short-term, episodic care. Many facilities now manage individuals with dementia, serious mental illness, or other complex needs requiring 24/7 care. This session highlights innovative, humane solutions through purpose-built long-term care facilities.
