4. On a related context, the NIHR
monitored news about transferring
a group of inmates of the Correction
and Rehabilitation Center to the AlShamel Health Care Center after
their treatment and health care was
delayed, which led to the deterioration of their health condition. The
NIHR conducted an inspection visit
to the Jau Correction and Rehabilitation Center to learn about the requests of the inmates connected
with the monitoring case and to ascertain their enjoyment of the
rights guaranteed under national
legislation and international human
rights standards.
1. The NIHR monitored news about inmate (K.S) who fell while taking a
shower hitting his head; this caused
difficulty getting to sleep because of
the severe headaches he is suffering from. Immediately, the NIHR
communicated with those concerned and it was confirmed that he
was checked by the physician and
received treatment and health care.
2. The NIHR also monitored a case via
a phone call by inmate (Y.Y.A.) in
the Correction and Rehabilitation
Center in the Dry Dock Area in
which he explained that not all the
inmates in the patients’ building receive treatment and health care
and that their medications are not
being made available from the Salmaniya Medical Complex, and that
there are existing cases of Covid-19
among the inmates, police, and
nurses. The NIHR contacted the inmate's family and found that he was
in quarantine for a period of 14
days. Accordingly, the NIHR communicated with the Administration
of the Center and it was confirmed
that the inmates received treatment and health care.
During the visit, the NIHR witnessed
firsthand the conditions of the inmates and met with a number of
them to make sure that they are enjoying their legally guaranteed
rights, especially the rights pertaining to detention procedures, medical examination and prevention of
communicable and non-communicable diseases for the safety of the
inmates in accordance with the
measures taken thereon. Accordingly, the NIHR prepared a comprehensive report on the visit, including its observations and recommendations about the services provided
to the inmates, and submitted it to
the competent authority.
