“…The serological analysis in our study showed very complete data for infections of HBV, HCV and HIV, which exceeded the data obtained in other studies [44][45][46]. The prevalence of HIV and HCV is greater for inmates than the general population [47].…”

The correct immunization of the inmate population minimizes the risk of transmission of vaccine-preventable diseases in prisons. The objective of this study was to evaluate the vaccine coverage of long-term prisoners in the Spanish penitentiary system through a retrospective longitudinal study. One-thousand and five prisoners were selected, who were imprisoned from 2008 and 2018 in three Spanish prisons. Their degree of immunization was evaluated as related to hepatitis A (HAV), hepatitis B (HBV), tetanus, diphtheria, pneumococcus and seasonal flu. The state of vaccination of the prisoners with a serological diagnosis of HBV, hepatitis C (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was also evaluated. The vaccination coverage obtained for hepatitis B was 52.3%, and for tetanus–diphtheria, it was 71.9%. However, for hepatitis A and pneumococcus infection, it was insignificant (<2% of the prisoners). Vaccination against seasonal flu was lower than 16%. The HCV and HIV-positive inmates were not correctly vaccinated either. The insufficient level of immunization obtained reflects the lack of interest and marginalization of this population by the penitentiary system and the health authorities. The lack of reliable records is combined with the lack of planned strategies that promote stable and well-defined programs of active vaccination.

“…The PDL were considered one of the highest risk groups in the coronavirus pandemic, in part, due to the unfavorable conditions they experienced before their detention, such as social segregation, poverty, marginalization and exclusion, as well as punitive criminal policies that favored overcrowding 5,9 . These conditions imposed significant challenges in the management of prison guidelines to reduce the spread of the virus, following WHO recommendations 5 .…”

Objective:The SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic affected people deprived of liberty in Colombia, a vulnerable group due to unfavorable prison conditions and deficient protection measures. The objective of the study was to analyze the effects of SARS-CoV-2 on cognitive function and subjective perception of executive functions in this group. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 47 men deprived of liberty between 18 and 55 years of age, in the department of Valle del Cauca, Colombia. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment Test (MoCA) and the BANFE-2 Battery were used. The participants provided informed consent and affirmed having tested positive in the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test. Results: It was determined that, 97.9% of individuals deprived of liberty had a positive PCR test, and 76.6% exhibited normal cognitive function in the MoCA Test. The subjective perception of executive functioning was recorded with normal parameters, at 68.1% according to the BANFE-2. A negative correlation was found between the MoCA Test (orientation subtest) and reported categories of SARS-CoV-2 virus symptoms. In addition, the abstraction MoCA variable showed an inverse relationship of (−3.19). Conclusions: The study demonstrated a negative correlation between cognitive impairment and SARS-CoV-2 symptoms in people deprived of liberty. Most of the participants presented normal cognitive and executive functioning, indicating a proportional inverse relationship between the variables evaluated.

“…Desde entidades como la Procuraduría General de la Nación, se percibe ausencia de atención psicosocial por motivo de la pandemia hacia la población privada de la libertad. Esta manifestó la necesidad de apoyo psicológico como aspecto coyuntural en los momentos de pandemia, similar a la urgencia vivida por la población privada de la libertad expresada en Barrenger y Bond (2021) y López Hernández (2020), y recordaron la necesidad de fortalecimiento de programas para el tratamiento penitenciario, aun en medio de la emergencia. En esta línea, percibieron la ausencia de personal, por ejemplo, los practicantes del área de psicología, como producto de las medidas adoptadas para mitigación del contagio.…”

En el mundo, los sistemas de justicia usualmente utilizan la privación de la libertad por encima de otras decisiones punitivas, esto hace que los establecimientos penitenciarios y carcelarios tengan elevadas cifras de población privada de libertad, cuyas tasas suelen aumentar año a año, en muchos países manteniendo una sobrepoblación. En América Latina, las tasas de encarcelamiento son casi el doble de la media mundial, con una sobrepoblación muy alta y, por lo general, dichos establecimientos tienen deficiencia de recursos y difíciles condiciones de vida, lo cual lleva a que existan enormes dificultades para el acceso a derechos como educación, trabajo, agua potable, artículos de aseo personal y atención en salud, lo que constituye a las cárceles como lugares con una alta prevalencia de enfermedades infecciosas. Dado que la población carcelaria vive de manera permanente con afectaciones a la salud, resulta oportuno hacer un análisis a las medidas que los diferentes actores del sistema han adoptado durante la pandemia del covid-19, describiendo la gestión realizada por la institucionalidad, identificando las prácticas sociales implementadas y caracterizando la forma en que se configuraron las redes de apoyo. La emergencia sanitaria demandó esfuerzos en todos los países y en sus instituciones, que tomaron las medidas necesarias en medio de la situación atípica para mitigar los contagios y la expansión del virus, lo que, en ocasiones, se priorizó sobre la garantía de los derechos fundamentales de la población.
