| Annotation | Older adults in prison represent an increasing, yet invisible, group among the ageing population in the US. Working effectively with older inmates poses a challenge for penal workers who are more accustomed to dealing with a much younger clientele. This paper discusses the development of a 6-hour training programme entitled "Issues in aging for correctional workers". The training was developed through the interdisciplinary collaborative efforts of two faculty members who teach in the criminal justice and social work departments at Northern Michigan University, Marquette, a medium-sized liberal arts university.
