Abstract
This project worked to create and implement community volunteer activities for aging inmates at Franklin Medical Center to promote wellness through meaning and purpose, creativity, expression, and social interaction and connection. Volunteer activities were also created to complement staff and inmate efforts to provide death with dignity through bedside visitation, family support and formal observances of inmate loss.
