During nursing school we got to visit the forensic facility in Jackson, LA(for the criminally insane) for a clinical rotation. Very eye opening experience. Nurses there told us some interesting stories of getting sprayed with various bodily fluids(poop,semen,urine,vomit, blood) whenever they opened the cells to administer meds to the prisoners.


The father of someone I went to HS with resides there. He killed some people while in a delusional state. When he's on his meds, he's fine, but he won't take his meds voluntarily, so he stays there for the foreseeable future.

The patient I was assigned to as a student (a man that murdered someone) told me I'm too nice to be a psych nurse there and I should go work with kids or something like that.



I guess I took his advice


It takes a certain type of person to work in places like that. You have to have eyes in the back and sides of your head at all times and be able to command respect from your patients or you will not last long there and/or could potentially get seriously hurt by a patient.
