detainee rights
Detainee rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements that individuals have while in custody, whether in a police station, prison, or immigration detention. These rights include the right to humane treatment, the right to remain silent, the right to legal representation, and the right to a fair trial. Detainees should not be subjected to torture or inhumane conditions. Additionally, they have the right to communicate with family and access medical care. These rights are essential to ensuring justice and preventing abuse in the legal system.
