Brief Summary

The mission of corrections is to provide custody, control and care for incarcerated individuals. United States prisons are required by constitutional law to provide adequate care for growing numbers of older inmates who will likely spend their final days in prison. This Phase II project focuses on the correct users accessing correct learning strategies in the correct setting (i.e., interdisciplinary prison staff accessing high quality products designed to educate and lead practice change initiatives within the walls of prisons), by continuing research and development of a learning system that promotes an integrated systems approach to enhancing the care of the aged and dying in prisons.
