From substance abuse to domestic violence, mental health to chronic disease, correctional nurse Donna Bloice has experienced first-hand the medical struggles of women in prison.
But it's watching their deteriorating health conditions outside of the prison system which has motivated her to write a PhD to tackle the health issues seen in recidivist prisoners.
Titled '
Who Cares About the Health of Female Former Prisoners?', Donna is compiling insights from nurse and midwife navigators to understand and create sustainable corrective health service models.
