Human Rights Watch: Solitary Confinement Harming Australian Prisoners with Disabilities
Original: Australia: Solitary Confinement Harming Prisoners with Disabilities
Human Rights Watch has reported that prisoners with disabilities in Australia are being harmed by solitary confinement. The organisation says people with mental health or other disabilities are held in isolation, worsening their conditions and violating their rights. The report calls on Australian authorities to end the practice and provide adequate support and accommodations for vulnerable prisoners.
Why now: A new Human Rights Watch report has just drawn attention to the treatment of disabled prisoners in Australia.
