| dc.description.abstract | This thesis explores the actual implementaaon of prisoners right 10 health at Federal Maximum J Security Prison. The velY objectives of this study are: to assess the adequacy of health care infrastructure, the health care management standard compliance with the international minimum requirements on prisoners' right to health, to establish the level of hygienic and sanitary inFastrllctllres and to examine the role of NGOs in the promotion of prisoners ' right to health at Federal Maximum Security Prison. In order to address the objectives, the study IItilizes qualitative data collected Fom primary and secondGlY sources using interview and personal observation. Interviews were conducted with various respondents including prisoners, prison health personnel, prison officials and Non-state actors. The study found that prisoners' health care at Federal Maximum Security Prison is below the international standards specified in the UN SMR. Most importantly, the prison health care is short of infrastruclural provision, delivering on time treatment, and providing adequate water necessary to maintain personal hygiene and cleanliness, which is likely to deny prisoners full enjoyment of right to health. NGOs engaged in prison health care have positively impacted prisoners' right to health through the provision of health care infrastructures, expertise and capacity building training. The study concludes that the delivery of health care at Federal Maximum Security Prison does not fully conform to international principles and standards, and has the pOlential to compromise the pro motion and protection o/prisoners' right to health. | en_US |
