Prison rapped over the knuckles for prisoner neglect


A prison operator has been rapped over the knuckles for neglecting an inmate's blistered feet. Both times, instructions were passed on about treating the man's feet but there is no record that staff at the second prison acted on these. He recommended the second jail train its staff in wound-care management and how to appropriately respond to inmates' healthcare needs. The feet deteriorated so much the prisoner was forced to clean them every morning with toilet paper. The prison must report back to the commission on its progress and also audit it's compliance with documentation professional standards.
