While governments and international organizations continue their fight against the 2019 Corona virus disease, it is important to not overlook those in prisons and detention centres around the world, currently deprived of their liberty and rights, as they are likely to be more vulnerable to this outbreak than the general population.

The article concludes with implications for mental health of prisoners and deliberates on decarceration as a way forward.
