International attention on the plight of Syrian refugees seeking asylum in Europe has brought into question the long term efficacy of the European Union. Patchwork policy requirements set down by the European Council have disproportionately spread the economic and political strain of historically high levels of incoming asylum-seekers to member states at the external border of the Union. Italy and Greece specifically have been handed the administrative responsibility of the current inflows of people despite both nations having fundamentally fragile economies, recent histories of anti-immigration policy, and a complete inability to adequately combat the humanitarian aspects of this crisis. The severity of the situation has garnered calls to end the Schengen area and other nationalist policies, but in order to properly embrace its role as a beacon of opportunity for those seeking to escape persecution, the EU must coordinate to create a more comprehensive and fair institution to combat smuggling and encourage legal channels for asylum-seekers.

Class of 2017 Abstract / Objectives: To assess the change in efficiency and accuracy of the medication reconciliation process at the Pima County Adult Detention Center (PCADC) after implementation of a Health Information Exchange (HIE) and also to identify the percentage of patients whose medication data is available in the HIE Methods: This program evaluation was a retrospective comparison of the traditional self-reported method of medication reconciliation to the HIE method. It compared the number and types of medication discovered for each patient using the traditional medication reconciliation collection data (the self-reported method) and the new database query method (HIE method) Results: 200 samples were randomly selected (100 random detainees and 100 with known medical record in the HIE database) to participate in the study. A total of 150 patients (61%) were retrieved from the HIE database, of which 100 were from the control group and 50 from the random group. The total numbers of medications that these 150 patients contributed was 284. Mean completeness of self-reported medications was 54% while HIE yielded an average of 99% (χ2; p<0.0001). 9 patients (4%) had both self-reported medications and medications within the HIE database in which 17 medications (62%) compared to the self-reporting method with 14 medications (52%) sharing the same name. There were no medication dose matches between self-reported medications and HIE queried medications. Conclusions: The addition of an HIE database to the existing self-reporting process of collecting a detainee’s medication reconciliation provides a more comprehensive and accurate medical record

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o que estrutura a experiência da internação como forma de punição de adolescentes. A partir da pesquisa de campo realizada em unidades da Fundação CASA, trata-se de buscar compreender como as práticas e rotinas dessa instituição se relacionam com as concepções sobre punição de adolescentes definindo essa experiência para os adolescentes nela internados. A pesquisa consistiu na entrevista com adolescentes de uma unidade de semiliberdade que estavam em progressão de medida; e em visitas a uma unidade de internação. A unidade de internação foi analisada neste trabalho a partir do conceito de instituição total que, a partir da suspensão da obviedade da situação, possibilita pensar de que forma os elementos que constituem essa situação comunicam sentidos e informações que atuam sobre o indivíduo e servem de guias para a ação. Com isso, o comportamento e as interações dos adolescentes internados foram interpretados não como consequências de sua trajetória ou efeitos de sua personalidade, mas como resultado dessa experiência de punição e como efeitos da socialização operada nesse espaço. Tendo em vista as especificidades das práticas punitivas para adolescentes, a tensão existente entre a concepção repressiva e a concepção recuperadora (ou pedagógica) na condução do controle da criminalidade juvenil mostrou-se central tanto nos discursos sobre e legislações para a punição de adolescentes, quanto nas práticas das instituições de internação. Por um lado, a concepção pedagógica possui grande legitimidade e, partindo do status de pessoa em desenvolvimento dos adolescentes, integra os objetivos oficiais e efeitos intencionados das unidades de internação. Esta concepção se manifesta nos esforços para transformação do adolescente mediante o Plano Individual de Atendimento. Por outro lado, baseados no perigo iminente por lidarem com criminosos, as práticas e os procedimentos de segurança da rotina institucional informam um perigo iminente também para os internos. O processo conflituoso que todos os internos vivem de tentar proteger seu self desta definição prescrita é acompanhado pela tensão de se relacionar com aqueles cuja definição também decorre desta informação básica de pertencer a uma instituição destinada a indivíduos perigosos. A fim de evitar que esse perigo se realize, um caos violento e sem regulação, vê-se multiplicar as normas de conduta que / I seek to investigate how the confinement experience as means of punishment is structured. Through fieldwork in Fundação CASA units I aim to understand how the institutional practices and routines are in relation with conceptions of juvenile justice and the way it defines the experience of juvenile inmates. The research was based on visits to a juvenile detention center and interviews with inmates in a semi-liberty unit with progressive measure. The institution is analyzed through the concept of total institution, which allows one to reflect on how its elements communicate meaning and information which, in turn, act upon the inmate and serve as a guide for his behavior. The juveniles behavior and interactions were interpreted not as consequence of their personality or life course, but instead, as resulting from the punishment experience and the socialization of the environment. The tension between educational and repressive ideas of punishment, typical of juvenile justice, was central to the legislation and institutional practices. On one side, educational views have more legitimacy and, based on the not-yet-person status of juveniles, integrates the institutions official aims and intended effects. This view manifests itself in the attempt to change the juvenile through the Individual Accompaniment Plan. On the other side, based on the imminent danger of dealing with criminals, the security procedures of the institutional routine also inform the inmates of an imminent danger. The conflictive process in trying to protect ones self from prescribed definition is accompanied by tensions in relating with those whose definition also results from the information associated with belonging to an institution meant for dangerous individuals. To avoid the becoming of such danger, there is an increase in rules for conduct that may regulate these interactions and thus, guarantee predictability.

There are five detention centers in Sweden (in swedish ”förvaret”), were asylum seekers and migrants are held in custody until the Migration Agency has completed their investigation and concluded who are allowed to remain in Sweden and who should return/sent back to their home countries. The detainees are taken into detention centers because the state and authorities are afraid that they will ”go under ground”. This study has been based on the primary empirical data provided by semi-structured interviews. These have then been analysed with a narrative methodology, and in interaction with relevant literature as secondary data. Seven staff members at the detention center in Flen have been interviewed. Erving Goffman´s theory about ”total institutions” and Michael Foucault´s theory about power and its exercise have been used as theoretical basis for the analysis. The purpose of this study is to investigate how the staff members in the detention center in Flen works, how the staff experience their duties and what opportunities there are available for the detainees. The following questions should be answered: (1) How does the staff work in the detention center and how does the interaction between the detainees and the staff look like? (2) How the detention center affects detainees health and what kind of care is available for detainees? (3) What do the staff consider of the criticisms against the detention centers? In summary, the empirical base shows that (1) the staff at the detention center (in Flen) have two different roles, first to help detainees who feel bad or are sick and also to persuade the detainees to cooperate and leave the country voluntarily. The interviewers stated that some of the detainees do not want any contact with the staff, while others are more open to it. (2) The main aim of the staff is to treat the detainees within the walls of the detention center, however, when the resources are insufficient. When more serious problems arise the detainees are offered care outside the detention center. (3) The interviewed staff members held the opinion that the criticism of the detention centers is wrong and unfair. Their conviction was that the lawmakers have decided that these detention centeras are needed and that they trust their decisions, detention centers are part of the asylum process, that the staff only trying fulfill their duties, detention centers are the result of the policy that people voted for in general elections.
