inmate rights

Inmate rights refer to the legal protections and privileges that individuals in prison possess. They include the right to humane conditions, access to medical care, protection from abuse, and the freedom of speech and religion. Inmates also have the right to due process, meaning they should not face disciplinary actions without a fair hearing. While their freedom is restricted, inmates maintain certain rights that ensure their dignity and well-being, which are upheld by various laws and court rulings. These rights aim to balance security needs with humane treatment within the correctional system.
