Welcome to the Center

The Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights is a collaboration of doctors, social workers and allied health staff from a variety of medical disciplines with the common mission of preserving the basic rights and needs of individuals detained in correctional systems, both in the United States and abroad. With a history of providing medical care for inmates dating back to 1986, "The Center" was formally created in 2005 to further promote quality medical care for inmates, as well as research and education about correctional healthcare. We are also committed to advocacy for prisoners, in particular towards securing basic protections such as access to care, safety and humane treatment.
