Human rights and Prisoners - Australian Human Rights ...

Human Rights and Prisoners This information sheet talks about some of the Human Rights issues faced by Prisoners in Australia. It also highlights how a federal Human Rights Act could help deal with these issues. Which Human Rights are we talking about? Human Rights are about everyone, including people who are in prison. Some of the Human Rights and freedoms particularly relevant to Prisoners include the right: to be treated with humanity and respect for their dignity not to be subjected to torture, or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment not to be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention for accused persons to be separated from convicted persons freedom of association to the enjoyment of culture to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health to education to vote to be free from discrimination.

The Australian Human Rights Commission supports a Human Rights Act for Australia. A Human Rights Act could make a difference in protecting and promoting the rights of prisoners. However, it is important to recognise that most prisons are state or territory responsibilities.
