“…Eight of the studies, 4 among street dwellers [ 25 – 28 ] and another 4 among prison inmates [ 16 – 19 ] were conducted in Ethiopia. Two studies conducted among prison inmates were reported from Nigeria [ 13 , 21 ]. Malaysia, Nepal, Brazil, Kenya and India reported one study each on prison inmates [ 14 , 20 , 22 – 24 ].…”

“…In developing countries, prison inmates live in deprived situations characterized by inadequate facilities, malnutrition, scarce potable water, over-crowdedness, and poor hygiene [ 12 ]. Besides this, prisoners have no control of their environment in which they live, which puts them at risk of infection with intestinal parasites [ 13 ]. Limited healthcare, high risk behaviors, lower immunity due to stress and poor nutrition adds the risks [ 14 ].…”

“…Street dwellers and prison inmates represent the marginalized communities and the overall low levels of living standards make them prone to parasitic illness than the general population [ 15 ]. The prevalence of intestinal parasitic infection among prison inmates showed 42.6%–72.73% in Ethiopia [ 16 – 19 ], 24.7% in Kenya [ 20 ], 14.4% and 22.8% in Nigeria [ 13 , 21 ], 6% in Nepal [ 22 ], 7.89% in India [ 23 ], 26.5% in Malaysia [ 14 ] and 20.2% in Brazil [ 24 ]. Whereas, the prevalence of intestinal parasites among street dwellers was reported as 43.9%–89.7% in Ethiopia [ 25 – 28 ], 66.3% in Peru [ 29 ] and 71.7% in Sudan [ 30 ].…”

Background Intestinal parasitic infections are closely associated with low household income, poor personal and environmental sanitation, and overcrowding, limited access to clean water, tropical climate and low altitude. Street dwellers and prisoners are forced to live in deprived situations characterized by inadequate facilities. Therefore, this study aimed to estimate the pooled prevalence and associated factors of intestinal parasitic infections among street dwellers and prison inmates. Method Study searches were carried out in Electronic data bases such as PubMed/Medline, HINARI, EMBASE, Science Direct, Scopus, Google Scholar and Cochrane Library. Studies published only in English and have high quality Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) scores were included for analysis using Stata version 14 software. Random-effects meta-analysis model was used for analysis. Heterogeneity was assessed using the Cochrane’s Q test and I2 test statistics with its corresponding p-values. Moreover, subgroup, sensitivity analyses and publication bias were computed. Result Seventeen eligible studies consist of 4,544 study participants were included. Majority of the study participants were males (83.5%) and the mean age of the study participants was 25.7 years old. The pooled prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among street dwellers and prison inmates was 43.68% (95% CI 30.56, 56.79). Sub-group analysis showed that the overall pooled prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among prison inmates and street dwellers was 30.12% (95%CI: 19.61, 40.62) and 68.39% (95%CI: 57.30, 79.49), respectively. There was statistically significant association between untrimmed fingernail and intestinal parasitic infections (AOR: 1.09 (95%CI: 0.53, 2.23). Conclusion In this study, the pooled prevalence of intestinal parasitic infections among street dwellers and prison inmates was relatively high. Fingernail status had statistically significant association with intestinal parasitic infection. The prevention and control strategy of intestinal parasitic infection should also target socially deprived segment of the population such as street dwellers and prison inmates.

Penelitian yang dilakukan di Nigeria menyimpulkan bahwa penjara merupakan sumber ancaman penyakit menular pada suatu bangsa (Ahmed, et al, 2016). Pada tahun 2013, The International Union against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease menerbitkan pernyataan resmi yang mendesak otoritas kesehatan, badan teknis nasional dan internasional, organisasi masyarakat sipil dan lembaga donor untuk memprioritaskan pencegahan dan pengenda-lian TB di tempat penahanan (Dara, Masoud, et al 2014).…”

A B S T R A KPenggunaan alasan sakit tentu menjadi hak asasi tersangka agar penahanan dalam proses pidana, khususnya tindak pidana korupsi, dapat ditangguhkan. Tetapi harus ada standar yang jelas tentang jenis penyakit serta tingkat keparahan dalam suatu indikasi medis. Penelitian ini berupaya menjawab beberapa pertanyaan terkait standar minimal penyakit untuk menangguhkan penahanan, dan upaya yang dapat ditempuh KPK dalam menyikapi alasan sakit yang digunakan

“…Sustainable water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services are critical for the prevention, control, and even elimination of parasitic diseases [7]. This is especially so in prisons where there is overcrowding and prisoners have no control of their environment [8]. Thus, it is crucial to ensure the availability as well as sanitary condition of services in prisons that serve large number of clients on a regular basis.…”

Objective The study aimed to assess the sanitary condition of services and its implication for intestinal parasitic infections among prison inmates in eastern Tigrai, northern Ethiopia. Results We have assessed the availability and sanitary condition of services at Adigrat prison. Frequent water cuts and unavailability of soap in the prison have challenged prisoners and food handlers to maintain their hygiene. The living rooms were overcrowded and poorly ventilated besides to unsatisfactory kitchen rooms. The prevalence of intestinal parasites among the participants was 40% (108/270). The dominant parasite was Entamoeba histolytica/dispar (60, 22.2%) followed by Giardia lamblia, 39 (14.4%). The mixed infections of Entamoeba histolytica/dispar and Giardia lamblia were detected among 17 (6.3%) of the participants. In multivariate analysis, participants who were feeding in groups were more likely to harbor intestinal parasites than those who were feeding alone (AOR: 2.1; CI 1.05–4.3). Intestinal parasites are significant health problems to the prisoners of Adigrat prison with poor sanitation of services. Therefore, provision of necessary facilities such as hand washing basins, soaps, disinfectants, disinfestations, and food utensils could significantly reduce the burden of intestinal parasites in the prison.
