Why do prisons recruit nursing professionals?

The reason why prisons recruit nursing professionals is to provide basic medical care services to prisoners in prisons.

The prison environment is special, and prisoners may face various health problems, including physical illness, mental health problems and drug dependence. Nursing professionals can provide basic medical care, disease prevention, health education and psychological support to ensure that prisoners' basic health needs are met. At the same time, nursing professionals can also play an important security role in prisons, monitor and manage the health status of prisoners, and reduce potential health risks and the spread of infectious diseases.
