jail standards

Jail standards are rules and guidelines set by authorities to ensure that detention facilities provide safe, humane, and effective conditions for inmates. These standards cover aspects like facility cleanliness, security measures, health care, access to legal services, and proper treatment of inmates. They aim to promote safety for staff and inmates, prevent abuse, and support fair treatment. Regular inspections and compliance with these standards help maintain proper operations, protect human rights, and ensure that jails serve their intended purpose of custody and rehabilitation.
