Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief presents preliminary findings from research in three prisons in Maharashtra, India on experiences of prison inmates there living with HIV. The study explores health care services in these prisons, and problems experienced by inmates in India living with HIV, as well as their staff and caregivers. Through this preliminary study, the researchers shed light on the experiences of inmates in Indian prisons, with an aim of presenting questions for future research. The author provides an overview of the global conditions of prison inmates living with HIV, as an international comparative context for examining the cases in India. Major problems highlighted in the cases include: living conditions, high risk behavior during incarceration, delivery of medical services and adherence to ethical guidelines. Results of the study reveal that overcrowding and inadequate nutrition were major concerns for inmates living with HIV; there were no support systems available inside the prisons to address the stress related issues of the inmates; and, the prison hospital did not have provisions to cater to the treatment needs of inmates living with AIDS. The study also found that confidentiality regarding the HIV positive status could not be maintained inside the prison. This Brief presents a window into the experience of inmates in India, and presents questions for future research to understand and improve living conditions and medical service delivery within the prison system. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, particularly interested in incarceration or health issues, public health and related areas such as public policy, international studies, and demography studies in India.

Book excerpt: This book offers a unique examination of how violence is situationally induced and reproduced for those inmates living with HIV in a US State prison system. Imprisonment is the only space where Americans have a constitutional right to healthcare but findings from this research suggest that accessing this care and associated welfare benefits requires some degree of violence. This book documents how HIV-positive inmates went about achieving agency through harm to their bodies and social standing to improve their health and wellbeing, in prison and upon re-entry to the community. It focusses on ethnographic research which was carried out in seven penal facilities in New England and comprises of accounts from inmates, prison staff, healthcare providers, ex-offenders, and community social workers. This book speaks to academics interested in prisons, violence, health, and ethnographic research, and to policy makers.

Book excerpt: This report focuses on the practice of segregating prisoners who are HIV-positive from the rest of the prison population in Alabama, South Carolina and Mississippi. When prisoners with HIV are segregated, they are forced to forfeit many of their rights, while at the same time they are subject to an atmosphere of prejudice, stigma and hostility from staff and other prisoners. Prisoners in the HIV units are forced to wear armbands or other indicators of their HIV status, are forced to eat and even worship separately, and are denied equal participation in prison jobs, programs, and re-entry opportunities that facilitate their transition back into society. Taken together, these conditions constitute inhuman and degrading treatment in violation of international law. After reviewing the findings of this report, Mississippi agreed to end its long-standing policy of segregation. Now, only in two states, Alabama and South Carolina, do prison officials systematically isolate, marginalize and exclude this population without medical justification.

Book excerpt: he starting point for this guideline is the point at which a woman has learnt that she is living with HIV and it therefore covers key issues for providing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights-related services and support for women living with HIV. As women living with HIV face unique challenges and human rights violations related to their sexuality and reproduction within their families and communities as well as from the health-care institutions where they seek care particular emphasis is placed on the creation of an enabling environment to support more effective health interventions and better health outcomes. This guideline is meant to help countries to more effectively and efficiently plan develop and monitor programmes and services that promote gender equality and human rights and hence are more acceptable and appropriate for women living with HIV taking into account the national and local epidemiological context. It discusses implementation issues that health interventions and service delivery must address to achieve gender equality and support human rights.

Book excerpt: Prisoners and Prisons in India" is an in-depth exploration of the conditions within India's prison system, emphasizing the human rights of prisoners and the legal framework governing their treatment. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical evolution of prisons in India, highlighting the various challenges that persist in the modern era, such as overcrowding, inadequate healthcare, and the systemic issues that often lead to the violation of prisoners' rights. At the core of this book is a detailed examination of the landmark Supreme Court case "Re-Inhuman Conditions in 1382 Prisons," which serves as a pivotal moment in India's judicial history. This case brought to light the appalling conditions in Indian prisons and led to a series of orders aimed at reforming the system. The book meticulously presents the full text of these Supreme Court orders, offering readers an authoritative source of legal directives that have shaped the current prison reform landscape. Key topics covered in the book include: Legal and Constitutional Framework: An overview of the constitutional rights of prisoners, the relevant acts and regulations like the Prison Act of 1894, and the significance of the Model Prison Manual 2016. Supreme Court’s Directives: A chronological account of the Supreme Court’s directives issued in response to the inhuman conditions in Indian prisons, with full-text orders included for reference. Prison Conditions: A critical analysis of the current state of Indian prisons, addressing issues such as overcrowding, health and hygiene, custodial violence, and the lack of basic amenities. Life Inside Prisons: Insights into the daily life of prisoners, including rehabilitation programs, the plight of undertrial prisoners, and the unique challenges faced by women and juvenile detainees. Prison Reforms: An examination of the efforts made to reform the prison system in India, including government initiatives, the role of NGOs, and the challenges of implementing sustainable changes. Comparative Analysis: A look at how India's prison system compares with those of other countries, drawing lessons from international standards and best practices. Future Directions: The book concludes with thoughtful recommendations for policymakers, legal practitioners, and civil society on how to continue the momentum of prison reforms to ensure the dignity and rights of all prisoners are upheld. This book is an essential resource for legal professionals, human rights activists, policymakers, and anyone interested in the justice system. It not only serves as a legal reference but also as a call to action for continuous improvement in the treatment of prisoners, emphasizing the importance of upholding human dignity within the criminal justice system. With its comprehensive coverage and detailed presentation of the Supreme Court's interventions, "Prisoners and Prisons in India" stands as a significant contribution to the discourse on human rights and prison reform in India.

Book excerpt: Harm Reduction is a philosophy of public health intended as a progressive alternative to the prohibition of certain potentially dangerous lifestyle choices. Recognising that certain people always have and always will engage in behaviours which carry risks, the aim of harm reduction is to mitigate the potential dangers and health risks associated with those behaviours. Harm Reduction in Substance Use and High-Risk Behaviour offers a comprehensive exploration of the policy, practice and evidence base of harm reduction. Starting with a history of harm reduction, the book addresses key ethical and legal issues central to the debates and developments in the field. It discusses the full range of psychoactive substances, behaviours and communities with chapters on injecting, dance drugs, stimulant use, tobacco harm reduction, alcohol use and sex work. Written by an international team of contributors, this text provides an essential panorama of harm reduction in the 21st century for educators and researchers in addiction and public health, postgraduate students and policy makers.
