Abstract
The fundamental rights enjoyed by prisoners mirror to a large extent those enjoyed by all: many of those rights are absolute and non-derogable under international law , including freedom from torture and inhumane treatment. However, in practice, standards of protection for prisoners’ rights are low in much of the world and even where mechanisms exist for enforcing their rights, they are often inaccessible.
