Abstract

The WHO emphasizes the need to protect prisoners from cancer and address health inequities within prison settings, highlighting the significant challenges they face in maintaining their health. A study titled Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Barriers Among Prison Inmates explores methods to safeguard the well-being of inmates. This research was conducted in various central prisons across India. Secondary data from the National Crime Records Bureau (2016–2022) sup-plemented the study, which also examined other health issues such as tuberculosis (TB), cancer, HIV, blood pressure, diabetes, skin diseases, heart and lung problems, and disabilities. The study focused on diagnosing and treating inmates, exploring the methodologies adopted by prison ad-ministrations, and addressing barriers to identifying cancer cases among prisoners.
