Definición

  • The purpose of medicine is to diagnose, comfort, and cure; the purpose of prisons, although sometimes rehabilitative, is to punish through confinement. These often mutually incompatible purposes form the background for the interaction of correctional and health professionals and help explain why ethical dilemmas, even in well-managed correctional settings, are inevitable.
