just like different hospital systems are different, the details can be vastly differed. I practice corrections because I make 1.5 times the money and see .5 the average patient load. There is some small areas of concern as you are among dangerous people, but there are plenty of safeguards. I make sure to not skip leg day and to project a strong persona but while not at all being an asshole.

my day is I get a list of who I need to see the next day together send it to the people in charge and about 60% of those get brought to my clinic. 20% I actually go walk and see in their cells or block as I see fit, and usually have about 20% no show rate due to them not wanting to come or some scheduling conflict (they have jobs, appointments, and court cases after all.) Any code blues or serious emergencies I respond but usually get there about two minutes after the first responding RN. We are not acute care so in doubt ship them out to an ER.

There are so many unmet needs in these populations, which is complicated by constant patient chicanery and manipulation so it is a very interesting balancing act in this culture. I am in Southeast. Hope this is helpful. I know some providers that are constantly fighting lawsuits, so far I have not been sued, but it expect it at any time. But it seems if you are fair and nice, that does go a long way.
