Deprivation Security and HIV as Factors Convict Undermines Security
Keywords:
prison population, deprivation of security, HIVAbstract
This paper presents an attempt to look at problems that impair the safety of inmates in correctional institutions and stand in the way of achieving the objectives of punishment and implementation of successful treatment. The concentration of a large number of prisoners who committed crimes in a wide variety of overcrowded prisons creates a strong feeling of uncertainty for each prisoner. If we add the presence of HIV, it appears that the situation in terms of security is even more serious. The circumstances that make it difficult to be sure the whole problem is a lack of testing inmates for HIV, and the lack of implementation of prevention programs, neobavještenost about ways of transmission and risk behaviours of inmates. A one-way resolution of tensions arising due to a number of prison deprivations, which also represent risk behaviours for transmitting HIV, are illegal tattooing, sharing equipment for intravenous drug use and risk of homo / heterosexual relationships among convicts.
