Abstract
Challenges in ensuring robust research and reporting of health outcomes in sub-Saharan African prisons
Highlights
The global prison population has continued to rise, with almost 11 million people in prison despite downward trends in crime.[1]
There are over one million people in prison in sub-Saharan African,[5] research activity on prison health is historically of low priority and generally confined to the gathering of rapid situational assessment of infectious diseases (HIV, tuberculosis) in selected prisons, documentation of good practices, some qualitative studies, books, academic thesis, and human rights, UN and African Union country missions.[6,7,8,9]
Little published literature directly addresses the protection of imprisoned people in sub-Saharan African health research, and a distinct lack of clear prison focused guidance and oversight in line with international standards to ensure ethical and robust prison health research.[11]
Summary
The global prison population has continued to rise, with almost 11 million people in prison despite downward trends in crime.[1].
