title: Commentary: a personal view on palliative and hospice care in correctional facilities.
abstract: Author notes that the provision of palliative and hospice care in correctional settings requires a multidisciplinary team approach, involving not only health care providers, but also corrections managers and their employees. All facets of an inmate's life must be reviewed in terms of end-of-life decisions, management, and palliative care.
