SURROGATE DECISION-MAKING IN CARCERAL HEALTHCARE.
— STAFF
It names a practice that is widespread, largely undocumented, and in tension with standard surrogate-decision-making law, which is useful framing for a clinician asked to accept a warden's consent for an incapacitated prisoner. But it is argument rather than evidence or authority: no jurisdiction's rules change, and nothing here alters what an evaluator must do or can defensibly assert.
