Florida Southern College nursing, English and criminology students are joining together to promote awareness of health care for women in prison. The students have organized a program that will include presentations, essay readings and a collection to benefit the Peace River Center.
The program, “Treatment Behind Bars,” will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. on March 1 in Branscomb Auditorium on the FSC campus. It is free and open to the public.
The event was organized by students in the Nursing/Criminology Learning Community. Guest speakers Cammie Baird and Gina Dressler of NaphCare, a company that provides healthcare to inmates, will give presentations about nursing care in correctional facilities. Students in the Department of English’s creative non-fictional writing course will read essays on the topic.
People attending the program are requested to bring travel-sized feminine care products as donations to the Peace River Center, the mental-health care program that serves Polk, Hardee, and Highlands counties.
