“…74 81 The lack of activities is a consequence of restricting staff numbers on site to minimise infection risk 63 and the logistical challenge for facilities such as gyms to clean shared equipment. 63 However, in-cell activities, including exercises, mindfulness, puzzles, videos, colouring and playing cards, offer alternatives. 9 75 88 Finally, imprisoned people are rarely attending appointments outside of prison, resulting in trials and court hearings being delayed, increased time spent on remand and likely additional distress.…”

ObjectiveTo examine the extent, nature and quality of literature on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of imprisoned people and prison staff.DesignScoping review.Data sourcesPubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Global Health, Cochrane, PsycINFO, PsychExtra, Web of Science and Scopus were searched for any paper from 2019 onwards that focused on the mental health impact of COVID-19 on imprisoned people and prison staff. A grey literature search focused on international and government sources and professional bodies representing healthcare, public health and prison staff was also performed. We also performed hand searching of the reference lists of included studies.Eligibility criteria for selection of studiesAll papers, regardless of study design, were included if they examined the mental health of imprisoned people or prison staff specifically during the COVID-19 pandemic. Imprisoned people could be of any age and from any countries. All languages were included. Two independent reviewers quality assessed appropriate papers.ResultsOf 647 articles found, 83 were eligible for inclusion, the majority (58%) of which were opinion pieces. The articles focused on the challenges to prisoner mental health. Fear of COVID-19, the impact of isolation, discontinuation of prison visits and reduced mental health services were all likely to have an adverse effect on the mental well-being of imprisoned people. The limited research and poor quality of articles included mean that the findings are not conclusive. However, they suggest a significant adverse impact on the mental health and well-being of those who live and work in prisons.ConclusionsIt is key to address the mental health impacts of the pandemic on people who live and work in prisons. These findings are discussed in terms of implications for getting the balance between infection control imperatives and the fundamental human rights of prison populations.

“…To reduce the impact of the virus, many locals have begun releasing youth back home. However, for Youth experiencing the highest degree of constraint, the ability to choose how to spend their time in volunteering has become even more restrained in light of COVID-19 due to increased restrictions and decreased resources (León et al, 2021).…”

This study belongs to descriptive analytical studies. It aims to identify the role of charities in spreading the culture of volunteering among young people during the Corona pandemic . Adopted on methodology by a sample social survey, the study sample was determined by using the simple random method including (104) individuals. The study concluded that the role of charities is represented in the following: holding training courses for youth to clarify their role in helping people infected with the Corona virus receive the necessary care, using modern technology to coordinate volunteer work for youth between government and private agencies to provide social services, focusing in volunteer activities on satisfying the basic needs of the youth facing the Corona Virus. The study referred to the positive effects of the youth doing voluntary work at the crisis time as follows: developing a sense of social responsibility among the youth and raising the values of loyalty and belonging to the homeland among the youth. The study recommended working on providing special programs to train volunteers before assigning them to work. In addition, it also suggested conducting future studies on the obstacles that limit youth volunteering at the time of the coronavirus crisis.
