detention facilities should be in accordance with minimum standards, not tantamount to torture, cruel, and degrading treatment. These should not include denial of visits and or communication with family, unless for serious security reasons. Information on complaints and accountability mechanisms should be well disseminated, through orientation, posting in cells, and constant announcement. In no case should punishment exhibit discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, religion, ability and other protected grounds under human rights law. Continuous training of detention facility personnel on the Mandela and Bangkok Rules, Convention Against Torture (CAT), and the Anti-Torture Law should be undertaken. 7. On health. Prisoners should enjoy the same standards of health care that are available in the community, and should have access to necessary health care services free of charge without discrimination on the grounds of their legal status. Health care services should be organized in close relationship to the general public health administration and in a way that ensures continuity of treatment and care (Rule 24). Considering complaints regarding the inconsistent availability of basic medicines and more so for maintenance medicines in places of detention, it is recommended that the Department of Health and concerned LGUs extend support to detention facilities to ensure the consistent availability of regular and maintenance medicines. Special attention should be provided for the elderly and those with disability. Access to pre- and postnatal care in accordance with the Mandela and Bangkok Rules should be ensured. Treatment of pregnant women deprived of liberty should be in accordance with minimum standards, and the stay of children in facilities in accord with the best interest of the child. The good practice of some facilities in ensuring registration to PhilHealth, SSS, and senior citizen registration for inmates should be replicated in other facilities. Consistent and continued partnership with the private sector should be maintained to supplement access to needed medicines and medical services. Mental health services including psychosocial support especially for those suffering from trauma, as well as access to psychological examination for women deprived of liberty, should also be provided as part of the right to health. 8. On rehabilitation and reintegration. In accordance with the Bangkok and Mandela Rules, rehabilitation should commence upon admission of 38
