Penalization of people living in poverty 2011, para. 71
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Those who are poor and vulnerable are therefore likely to leave detention disproportionately disadvantaged financially, physically and personally. After their release they will have depleted assets, reduced employment opportunities, limited access to social benefits and severed community ties and family relationships, and will be subject to added social stigmatization and exclusion, diminishing even further their prospects of escaping poverty.
Legal status
Non-negotiated soft law
Body
Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights
