Preview |
The
January 2008 issue features something special: Our first
Expanded Focus section, which invites leaders and
experts to write on a specific topic from their varied
perspectives.
The first topic: Thirty Years After
Estelle v. Gamble. The section examines the impact of
this landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on correctional
health care.
The articles highlight the important role litigation has played to
bring about change, but they also demonstrate how the
public perception of the “standard of decency” has
supported improved access, accreditation and the growing
recognition of correctional health care as a
professional discipline. They also focus on how the
process begun by Estelle continues to improve current
practice and foster future improvements.
