title: [Between care and punishment: the difficult coexistence of nursing care and prison culture].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Recent research results have shown that nursing practice in correctional psychiatric settings is difficult since institutional functionning and correctional culture threaten fundamental socioprofessional standards of care.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  The aim of this paper is to present the results of a research conducted in a Canadian correctional facility between 2006 and 2009 with nurses providing psychiatric care.
  
  
  RESULTS
  This research highlights the challenges faced by the nursing staff who see their professional practice constrained by correctional prerogatives.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  we believe that the results of our research are paramount if we wish to understand the specificities of this complex field of nursing.
