I used to work at VA Beach Jail part time in medical unit about 18 years ago. I was an RN there also my personal psychiatrist got me the job. One of the problems I saw was lack of staff. I working from ll am till ll pm. Was supposed to triage the inmates. Supposed to have a guard with me none available so did myself. Trustees were out of cells cleaning and I could have had horrible things happen to me didn't though. When visited the large cells with about 20 inmates I'd have to reach inside the bars and do Blood pressures and check things. I could have been strangled or had other things happen. But was okay worse that happened was verbal abuse. One of the problems was inmates selling their meds to other inmates for cigarettes and other things. True about pdoc once a week. At that time it housed Federal prisoners as jails were full. So murderers and the very worst also there. A Lot were street people who would get let out and be back the same day as they had three meals a day, a place to sleep as if not in isolation cots like bunk beds and TV's weight rooms, store to purchase items not provided. Not ideal but it wasn't that bad. Women segregated from males and teens kept in a differnt part of jail for safety. I worked there a few months and left for full time in private psych hospital. Thanks for posting the link. Phillipa
