Human Rights Bodies to Ensure Human Rights in Places of Detention

Places of detention are a complex social phenomenon that requires great attention from the state. But, despite this, even if there are norms in the legislation that guarantee the rights of prisoners, the reality, unfortunately, dictates a completely different picture.

Today, many prisoners face various kinds of violations of their rights. This can be both physical and psychological abuse by prison staff, as well as health problems, lack of access to education or work.

Human rights organizations need to actively participate in the process of improving the situation in this area. No prisoner should be deprived of their rights, and the solution of this problem should become a priority task of the state.

Human rights bodies should not only monitor the events taking place in places of detention, but also provide legal support not only to prisoners, but also to their families.

It is important that the state allocates sufficient funding for these organizations. This will help qualified professionals to more effectively fight for the rights of prisoners and create conditions under which prisoners will not be deprived of their rights.

Finally, along with the bodies of human rights activities, other social institutions also need to participate. For example, educational institutions play an important role here, helping prisoners to rehabilitate and embark on the path of correction.
