Healthcare and Other works with prisoners Making the society aware to accept the Prisoners with respect/dignity

Prisoners are always being neglected from the society and no body allowed them to start up their life again, besides that we need to change the perception of the society towards these prisoners. They also deserve to be treated in well mannered ,they must be considered as part of the society instead of the rigid treatment which they always receive from the public once the come out of the jail. So our objective is to make their life better by every possible mean .

Health Care of Prisoners

We will work towards Comprehensive health screening of prisoners and the same must be done on admission, with due regard to their right to privacy, dignity and confidentiality, including their right to refuse screening. This will help in identifying health issues, providing adequate treatment and in preparing an individualised health and diet plan for the inmate. Routine tests must be done periodically thereafter.

There should be comprehensive medical check-ups on an annual basis, regular medical check-ups on a monthly basis and access to a lady medical officer at all times for check-up, testing, treatment etc. as needed by the inmate. Papanicolaou tests and screening for breast and gynaecological cancer should be done for women prisoners on a regular basis. In case lady medical officer is not available, prisoner will be transferred to the nearest medical facility where a lady doctor is available.

Women with mental health issues must be transferred to appropriate institutions rather than keeping them in prisons.

Inmates should have access to female counsellors/psychologists at least on a weekly basis or as frequently as needed by them.

First-time offenders must especially be counselled on admission, to prevent recidivism.

Sterilized sanitary pads should be issued free of cost to women prisoners as per their requirements with no maximum limit.

Information about preventive measures for HIV, STDs or other gender-specific diseases must be provided.

The prison staff must undergo mandatory training in gender - specific needs of women, first aid and basic medicine to tackle emergencies and minor issues effectively.

We organize Blood donate camp As well.
