International law ethical guidelines for medical professionals working in prisons

International law requires health care providers who work in prisons not to participate actively or passively in torture or other cruel treatment or punishment. Prisoners’ Legal Services has written to the CSC and BC Correctional Health Services asking them to adopt guidelines for health care professionals that would comply with international law.
