Nursing jobs at prisons?

I want to get a nursing degree and work as a nurse at a prison. Should I get a MENTAL HEALTH NURSING degree or should I get a 'REGULAR' NURSING degree? Personally I'd prefer to get the mental health one but I'm worried that there aren't a lot of job opportunities at prisons for mental health nurses....so would it be much much easier for me to get a job at a prison as a 'regular' nurse?....I'm in UK in case that matters
Here in the colonies your question confuses. A "regular nurse" would be either a LPN or RN. You can specialize beyond those with work experience, certifications, or specialized training. If you can briefly explain how it's done there maybe it would be helpful. I did work in a prison once, had very bad experience. The fact that the prisoners had a class action suit against the state asking for MORE GUARDS because the didn't feel safe should have tipped me off.

It's pretty simple: You get a bachelor's in Nursing (BSN) and then you can specialize. You don't get bachelor's degree specifically in mental health or in adult nursing.
