교정시설 중증질환 수용자의 인권적 의료처우

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to compare the international norms on humanitarian medical treatment for prisoners with serious illnesses, the administration and treatment of correctional institution inmates act. Based on this, I tried to suggest the improvement direction of the administration and treatment of correctional institution inmates act based on the international human rights norm. The medical environment for the patients with serious diseases of the correctional facilities is very poor, and as of 2016, there are only 79% of doctors in total, and 14 hospitals, including Anyang Prison, have no specialists. From 2013 to 2016, 22 people died of the disease each year at the correctional institution, and 66 prisoners were found to have died without receiving external medical treatment because of the reject of the sentence execution suspension permission by the prison government. As of 2016, 34.2% of the patients in the correctional institution have suffered from the four serious diseases prescribed by the KCDC. However, it is analyzed that the current laws do not conform to the human rights medical treatment standard for the severe disease prisoner prescribed by international norms. International norms such as the United Nations Guidelines for the Minimum Standards for Detained Persons provide specific guidelines for the transfer of illness prisoners to external medical facilities, early release, equitable access to medical care, terminal illness hospice and early release of AIDS prisoners. Therefore, the direction of the improvement of the administration and treatment of correctional institution inmates act for the human rights medical treatment of the severe disease prisoner is as follows. First, it is necessary to label the medical treatment provisions of the correctional institution's serious illness prisoners. Second, it is necessary to clarify the category of serious illnesses and treatment regulations. Third, the provision of terminal illnesses hospice and the stipulation of linkage with local medical social system are necessary. Fourth, it is necessary to stipulate the top priority for the sentence execution suspension permission of serious illnesses. Fifth, regulations on the level of medical infrastructure of correctional facilities are necessary.
