Minorities in the criminal justice system 2015, para. 58
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- International instruments recognize the right of all prisoners to communicate with and receive visits from the outside world, including family, friends and lawyers. As affirmed by the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (Mandela Rules): "The treatment of prisoners should emphasize not their exclusion from the community, but their continuing part in it." These rights may have additional significance for members of minorities, for whom access to outside religious representatives or cultural groups may be as important as access to family and lawyers. Such contact may also be important with respect to the State's obligation to protect and promote the minority identity. The requirement that there be an attempt to place each prisoner in a facility near his or her home takes on particular importance for minority prisoners in the case where a particular minority is geographically concentrated.
