• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The book analyzes the Rights of prisoners upon incarceration. It is a critical analysis of the fact that once one is put behind bars there is a basic residium of rights upon which the state cannot encroach, and these include the right to marry and found a family. The book goes on to show that the state has a duty to provide for conjugal rights of prisoners so as to safeguard the marital rights of every prisoner as well the rights of the law abiding spouse and the children who are not incarcerated. Further the book examines the advantages that are deeply embedded in the provision of conjugal rights to prisoners such as prevention of rape, institutional homosexuality, and the spread of HIV and AIDS in prisons, the reduction of recidivism rates and safeguarding the dignity of prisoners and most importantly safeguarding the family which is the most important unit in society that cannot be over emphasized.
