Abstract
Dealing with the diverse healthcare needs of people in prison can be a very challenging role for a nurse. This article explores the care management issues which arise when caring for prisoners within a general hospital theatre environment. It is based on the author's experience working as a nurse in the operating theatre and in the prison environment--a 'unique environment that presents unique challenges'.
