Briefing
Women’s health needs in pre-trial detention
In October 2011 PRI’s Executive Director, Alison Hannah, contributed to an expert meeting in Vienna to develop a tool to assist independent monitoring groups with assessing illness and health risk in pre-trial detention. The meeting, convened by the Open Society Foundations’ Public Health Program and Open Society Justice Initiative, examined ways to support independent monitoring mechanisms with access to places of pre-trial detention, to develop their capacity to monitor health conditions, particularly in relation to HIV and drug use.
