In this issue, articles that embody the complexity and diversity of nursing care in correctional environments are showcased, highlighting the contributions of nursing leaders from across Canada and the United States. The papers featured herein represent unique educational initiatives, clinical practice contexts and research perspectives. Together their contributions challenge the notions of physical and professional "hiddenness" (Goddard et al. 2019) as they unmask the strides being made in the ongoing maturation of this nursing specialty.
