I work at a correction facility in mississippi. We currently have an inmate that is a extreme diabetic. He has a long history of letting his glucose level bottom out to the point of near death. This inmate also uses the this medical problem to his advantage. For example the other day he commented a infraction inside the facility and was placed in our segregation unit. Since that point he has a refused to check his glucose level. My question is do we have the legal authority to check his glucose level and deliver injections to him without his consent? When I said we, I mean out nursing staff which of course professonally trained.
