Individuals living in carceral systems oftentimes are not prioritized in ways that ensure that their rights and dignity are protected. Many families and communities have been and continue to be separated and negatively impacted by disparities in judges’ sentencing practices resulting in inequities in treatment and outcomes. As we continue our series on learning the language of health equity, we elucidate health inequities for justices-involved individuals in correctional facilities. This paper contributes to systematically identifying the role of nurse researchers in eliminating health inequities for adults living in correctional health settings to improve health outcomes. It is our determined belief that only through heightening the awareness of nurses on workforce and public biases about people living in prison and their deservedness of compassionate care; advocating for the elimination of stigmatizing and dehumanizing care practices that are regularly levied on them across settings; and including them in health-related research, that we can achieve health equity for this population.
在监禁系统中生活的个人往往没有得到优先重视，无法确保他们的权利和尊严得到保护。许多家庭和社区已经并继续受到法官量刑实践差异的影响，导致在治疗和结果方面存在不平等。在我们继续学习健康公平语言的系列文章中，我们阐明了在惩教设施中涉及司法的个人的健康不公平现象。本文有助于系统地确定护士研究人员在消除生活在惩教卫生环境中的成年人的健康不公平现象方面的作用，以改善健康结果。我们坚信，只有通过提高护士对劳动力的认识，消除公众对监狱中生活的人的偏见和他们应得的同情护理；倡导消除在各种环境中经常对他们实施的污名化和非人性化的护理做法；并将他们纳入与健康相关的研究，我们才能实现这一人群的健康公平。
