LECTURE 1: THE PRISON HEALTH SYSTEMThe term Prison does not call for positive thoughts. Terms such as filthy, unhygienic,torturous are reflected in the mind as one utters this word. The living conditions of prison acrossmajority of countries in world cannot be considered as up to the mark. It is a general tendency totreat prisoners in a inhumane manner. Criminals are sent to prisons to bear punishment, however,in effect living in prisons has become an additional punishment which these prisoners undergo. Itshall not be forgotten that these wrongdoers are also human beings and are entitled to the right tolive in a decent manner, even inside the jails (Koenig, King & Carson, 2012). Provision of suchliving conditions only adds to the offensive nature of a prisoners, and intensifies the urge tocommit crime. In result of which the prisoners tend to misconstrue the meaning of justice asvengeance and hence, develop a negative approach towards the world. On the contrary, everyeffort shall be made to provide these prisoners with at least basic living conditions, as thetraditional rationale of vengeance has been amended with rehabilitation.

The highest proportion of maleprisoners are admitted to prisons for committing sex offences, followed by other offences in theform of assault, drug offences and so on. All the mentioned aspects are interlinked as improving the living conditions shall reducethe health issues which are very common in these places. Hence, this is a whole cycle which ifimplemented effectively in the prisons shall properly address the rationale of rehabilitating thecriminals and guiding them to lead a better life. This shall amount to be one of the prominentadvantages and shall function as a social investment from the end of the authorities by reducingthe probability of committing offences in the future.
