Jailhouse Specials (50m Learning Lab Tabletop/Group Exercise)


Incarcerated individuals will sacrifice public health, safety and security for some luxuries not provided by the correctional institutions during their stay.  Food and drink is often the catalyst for most of these luxuries.  In the last 2 years there have been multiple cases of botulism from prison wine, or “hooch,” and it is impossible to calculate the number of food borne illnesses correctional medical staff treat due to unnecessary risks taken by detainees.  Each time a detainee causes illness they take the chance of starting a major outbreak.  This learning lab will display how prisoners start fires in correctional living units, store food and drink, how prisoners cook in their cells, and how alcohol is produced while incarcerated.  The learning lab will discuss how to identify and prevent these activities to ensure a healthy incarcerated population and a correctional staff knowledgeable enough to prevent major outbreaks.

    Phillip Gnascinski presented an outstanding educational presentation on Correcting Corrections in institutions relating to all aspects of environmental health at our fall conference for Northwest Ohio Environmental Health Association. He is an excellent speaker who engages the audience, and he received nothing but praise on the evaluations. I highly recommend him as a speaker at NEHA.

    Phillip is an outstanding sanitarian who is able to capture the audience's attention with his laid back delivery and easily understood descriptions. He has the technical savvy to answer challenging questions while still holding the listener's interest. He has presented several times to our NE OEHA and is a welcomed addition to any agenda. I will be at NEHA next summer and look forward to hearing from Phillip.

    I've heard Phil's presentation on Correcting Corrections. He's very engaging, enthusiastic and offers a unique perspective as a regulator "on the inside". We have so little opportunity to hear presentations on this often overlooked environmental health topic. The information was fresh, useful, and will help us update our institution inspection program.
