Prisoner rights and public perception

Liberty is one of the most basic of human rights, yet this is the first human right stripped from a person who has been sentenced to a term of imprisonment .

The next human rights to be taken from a prisoner are dignity and respect.

In 1948, the General Assembly of the United Nations brought to the world what is known as 'The Declaration of Human Rights' (UDHR), which totalled 30 human rights, for every person on earth.

Today, those same rights are still part of 'International Human Rights Law'.

In that year, 50 nations collaborated to make a list for all people, which included all people who were denied of their liberty, including prisoners who had committed crimes against society.
