inmates' rights

Inmates' rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements that individuals retain while incarcerated. These rights include access to basic necessities like food, water, and medical care, as well as the right to humane treatment and safety. Inmates have the right to free speech, practice religion, and access legal resources. They cannot be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment, forced labor, or discrimination. While their freedoms are limited, inmates still maintain certain civil rights under the Constitution, ensuring they are treated with dignity and respect within the prison system.
