The Polish Ministry of Justice and the Prison Service are planning sweeping changes to the regulations governing admission to prisons and detention centres. The new regulation aims to prevent the admission of individuals requiring hospital treatment due to acute psychosis or incurable diseases to these facilities.
The innovations covered by the scope include prisoners whose lives or health are directly in danger and who require emergency hospital treatment. In addition, it is envisaged that women who have passed the 28th week of pregnancy will not be admitted to prisons.
The Prison Service tends to avoid dealing with severely ill patients under the current system, and this new legislative amendment aims to resolve this issue. The rules to be introduced will have significant consequences both for prisoners' human rights and for the sustainability of the prison system.
