Abstract

Since the publication of the law of 18 January 1994, health care for detainees has been entrusted to public health establishments, and no longer to the prison administration. This is a real step forward insofar as individuals placed in the hands of justice now benefit from care provided by health professionals, who officiate within health units in prisons. Today, these professionals work in particular to promote preventive and health promotion actions, thereby helping to restore the detainee's place as a subject with a view to reintegrating him or her into the community.
