Polczyk-Przbyla, M.& Gournay, K. (1999). Psychiatric

nursing in prison: The state of the art? Journal of Advanced Nursing, 30(4), 893-900. Retrieved December 12, 2002, from Academic Search Premier database: http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?an=5866941&db=aph Note: Psychiatric nursing in prisons has received criticism from within and outside the profession in recent years. In England and Wales this amongst other issues has prompted a review of forensic health care by the United Kingdom Central Council for Nursing, Midwifery & Health Visiting (UKCC). The status of forensic psychiatric nursing as a specialty has al so been disputed in the literature and the role of nurses working in this field is seen by some to be more about social control than caring.

Rise of Caring Power. Retrieved July 1, 2002 from the Elizabeth Fry Website. http://www.elizabethfry.net/ Note the brief biography of Elizabeth Fry. Note this original study discusses the role of women in developing and dispersing caring power, and, vice versa, the role of caring power in constituting 'women' as modern social subjects - processes which began around 1800. Note the concept of caring power is based on the historian/philosopher Foucault's concept of pastoral power, but takes into account the vital role played by gender.
