In this article, we present a duality: the conflict in American prisons between nursing ethics and the killing machinery. The US penal system is a setting in which trained healthcare personnel practices the extermination of life.

Two hypotheses are proposed to account for the findings, one legal and one moral. While no causal claims are made, …
