реферирование английскnational legislation, policies and practices must be guided by the international standards developed to protect the human rights of prisoners. when people are detained they are deprived of one of their most basic human rights: the right to freedom of movement and residence. basic human rights are as important to a prisoner as to any other member of society. the only difference is that prisoners cannot enjoy their right to freedom for a set period of time. punishment does not mean that all the prisoner’s rights are taken away. prison sentences are a form of punishment which deprives someone of their liberty but not their basic human rights to life, integrity, freedom from torture, slavery, self-development, health, freedom from discrimination or due process of law. this concept is very important. treating prisoners with humanity and respect is part of the “correctional” process. the prison system must treat prisoners fairly and humanely and demonstrate respect for their rights. the objective of imprisonment is to perform the sentence passed by the court, and facilitate the rehabilitation of prisoners so as to prepare them for their return to society. international standards and norms are taken from treaties, conventions, international declarations and resolutions adopted in international and regional governmental forums. many of them have their roots in human rights defined in international human rights instruments, such as “the universal declaration of human rights”, “the united nations convention against torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” and others. ого текста онлайн
