In the United States, jail and prison populations continue to be on the rise. In 1976, the US Supreme Court mandated correctional facilities to provide necessary medical care to all incarcerated individuals. Often, this population is frequently associated with chronic illnesses and accidental injuries that require admission to the intensive care unit. This article will be a case presentation of a critically ill patient and a brief discussion of safe and effective interventions of the incarcerated patient in the intensive care unit.
