Most prisons were never built to be nursing homes. Correctional officers often aren’t equipped with the necessary training, and medical staff can be spread thin. At the California Medical Facility, a medium-security prison in Vacaville, midway between San Francisco and Sacramento, that’s where people like Kevion Lyman, right, come in. He is 1 of about 2 dozen men called the Pastoral Care Service Workers. Most of them are convicted murderers serving life sentences who have been granted an unusual role: providing dignified deaths to their fellow inmates. 7 days a week, the workers pull 10- to 15-hour shifts, often longer. They brush patients’ teeth, massage sore limbs, read books out loud, strip soiled mattresses and assist the medical staff. And when patients are in their final hours, it is the workers who sit with them, holding round-the-clock vigils. They pride themselves on their policy: No prisoner here dies alone. “Most people are scared to death of death, but I get the chance to be with people — to impart what I have, and they get to impart what they have,” Kevion told the @nytmag writer @suleikajaouad. “It gives me a chance to live.” @katygrannan took this photo of Kevion helping to steady Ralph Martinez, a patient with cirrhosis of the liver.
