How do people in prison access palliative care? A scoping review of models of palliative care delivery for people in prison in high-income countries.

Beyond the USA, policies might formalise care pathways and recognise best practices. Further investigation to address psychosocial needs of people in prison with life-limiting illnesses and post-death bereavement support is required.
