Issues discussed include: human rights standards applicable under the European Convention on Human Rights; the scale of the problem and concerns relating to the wider penal system in which these deaths occur, including the issue of overcrowding in prisons and sentencing practice; risk assessment and management, including reception in police custody, immigration detention and the provision of physical and mental healthcare in detention; the use of physical restraint and seclusion; staffing and training issues; investigations into deaths in custody and inquiries. Recommendations include the establishment of a cross-departmental expert task-force on deaths in custody to monitor the topic, review good practice standards, publish information and to make recommendations to Government.

This book was released on 2005-11-15 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Government's first reply to the report by the Joint Committee on Human Rights on Deaths in Custody, accepted much of the Committee's analysis and pointed to efforts underway to address the problem, however it did not propose any substantial changes to policy or practice. This second reply addresses the most significant recommendation of the Report, that a cross-departmental expert task force should be set up to look at deaths in all forms of state custody. The Government describes a number of institutions and points to the establishment of the multi-agency group chaired by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. However the Committee has concerns that the need for an active, interventionist body has not been met. They will therefore keep the matter under active review in the current Parliament.

Book Synopsis Legislative scrutiny by : Great Britain: Parliament: Joint Committee on Human Rights
Download or read book Legislative scrutiny written by Great Britain: Parliament: Joint Committee on Human Rights and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-02-06 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this report the Committee recommends amendments to the Health and Social Care Bill to ensure that private (or voluntary) sector care homes which accommodate publicly-funded residents are brought within the scope of the Human Rights Act. It also calls on the Government to implement recommendations in its earlier report on the human rights of older people in health care (HL 156-I/HC 378-I, session 2006-07, ISBN 9780104011447). The Committee's concerns arise from the meaning of "public function" and "public authority" in the Human Rights Act. It believes it was clear that Parliament intended the Act's requirement of public authorities to act compatibly with the European Convention on Human Rights to cover private-sector providers of publicly-funded services, and is disappointed that the Government has deferred a decision on a new statute to reinstate the original intention of the Act.

Book Synopsis Controversial Issues In Prisons by : Scott, David
Download or read book Controversial Issues In Prisons written by Scott, David and published by McGraw-Hill Education (UK). This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Controversial Issues in Prisons is a textbook designed to explore eight of the most controversial aspects of imprisonment in England and Wales today. It is primarily a book about the people who are sent to prison and what happens to them when inside. Each chapter examines a different dimension of the prison population and draws upon the sociological imagination to make connections between the personal troubles and vulnerabilities of those incarcerated with wider structural divisions which plague the society we live in. The book investigates controversies surrounding the incarceration of people with mental health problems, women, children, foreign nationals, offenders’ with suicidal ideation, sex offenders, drug takers and the collateral consequences of incarceration on prisoners' families. Each chapter on these eight substantive topics shares a common structure and answers the following key questions: How have people conceptualised this penal controversy? What does the official data tell us and what are its limitations? What is its historical context? What are the contemporary policies of the Prison Service? Are they legitimate and, if not, what are the alternatives? Ultimately the authors argue that in combination these controversial issues raise fundamental concerns about the legitimacy of the confinement project and the kind of society in which it is deemed essential. The book concludes with a discussion of why it remains important to make penal controversies visible, challenge penological illiteracy and provide alternative means of responding to human wrongdoing rooted in the principles of human rights and social justice.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report, from the joint House of Lords and House of Commons Committee (Joint Committee on Human Rights, HLP 156/HCP 527, session 2007-08, ISBN 9780104013410), is a follow-up to an earlier report, (HLP 185-I/HCP 701-I, session 2005-06, ISBN 9780104008638). This report focused on the UN Convention Against Torture and its applicability to the UK armed forces. This new report considers discrepancies in the evidence provided to the Committee about the use of prohibited interrogation techniques in Iraq. The Committee's conclusions, were as follows: that conditioning techniques such as hooding and the use of stress positioning were used by some British troops in Iraq, despite such techniques been prohibited in 1972; that the hooding and stress positioning by the First Queen's Lancashire Regiment in 2003, was based on legal advice from Brigade headquarters; that the interpretation of using such techniques may have been too narrow and interpreted as only applying to interrogation in Northern Ireland; that the prohibition of such techniques was not clearly articulated to the troops in Iraq; up until 2005, interrogation personnel were trained in proscribed techniques, demonstrating what they might be subjected to if captured. The Committee is yet to receive an explanation from the Ministry of Defence for the the discrepancies between the evidence given to the Joint Committee in 2004 and 2006 on the use of prohibited conditioning techniques and recommends that the Secretary of State for Defence should confirm a detailed response will be received about the discrepancies, following the public inquiry into the death of Baha Mousa.
