Abstract

The prison population is ageing. Caregivers are having to work in an environment which is unsuited to the care of elderly prisoners. The French law of 18 January 1994 relating to public health and social protection, radically changed the health care provision for people in prisons. The methodological guide relating to their care constitutes a valuable aid to its application. Since then, various laws have been modified by the Code of Criminal Procedure, improving the way the health status of prisoners in general and elderly prisoners in particular is taken into account.
