Original: Australia: Solitary Confinement Harming Prisoners with Disabilities
Human Rights Watch reports that prisoners with disabilities in Australia are being harmed by prolonged solitary confinement. The group says the practice worsens mental and physical health conditions and is being used inappropriately against vulnerable inmates, prompting renewed calls for reform of prison practices and stronger protections for detainees with disabilities.
Why now: A new Human Rights Watch report on the treatment of disabled prisoners in Australia has drawn fresh attention to the issue.
