Needs to transport prisoner in secure vehicle and then handcuffs whilst outside the vehicle. Prisoner needs to be secured to solid fixing or held by officer at each point of interaction on the healthcare journey.
This already creates subversion for the prisoner and they may feel alienated from the rest of the hospital patients and staff by being in handcuffs. Puts the officer in a role of authority that may push them to exceed the bounds of this and become domineering towards the prisoner.
Prison rules dictate the prisoner must always be secured by handcuffs.
Officer’s experience of different prisons, prisoners and areas seems to have hardened his views on how personally responsible prisoners are and how he may have moral superiority to them.
This creates a barrier between officer and prisoner as well as prisoner and everyone else they contact.
This could create a mistrust between prisoner and officer which may impede their communication with each other and other people.
He has a focus on finishing off the last few years of the job and buying an expensive car.
Has a large family and strong social connections outside of work.
This may lead to him ignoring a person centred care model and just focussing on the task in hand, lacking empathy for the prisoner.
This could also cause him to see his job as just a job and lack the desire to make emotional connections with prisoners.
Likes to do the job by the book.
If there is any apparent deviation from normal protocol he may become hostile to those trying to do things a different way, this may even include NHS staff who do not understand the rules he has to follow.
