		The argument for privatization stresses cost reduction, whereas the arguments against it focus on standards of care, and the question of whether a market economy for prisons might not also lead to a market demand for prisoners (that is, a strong lobby for ever-tougher sentencing to satisfy the need for cheap labor).
		Prisons may outsource medical care to private companies such as Correctional Medical Services, which, according to Hylton's research, try to minimize the amount of care given to prisoners in order to maximize profits.
		Prisons may specialize exclusively in male or in female prisoners, or have separate departments for each sex.

	Amazing Prison Escape In France
		A group of at least four men in police uniform attacked the prison in Fresnes, south of Paris, to free Antonio Ferrara, an Italian national convicted of armed robbery who had already escaped from jail once.
		They entered the prison through two separate doors and then passed explosives to Ferrara, who used them to blast through the bars over his cell window and escape, in the third jail break this year in France.
		Ferrara, 29 -- who was sentenced in January to eight years in prison for two bank hold-ups committed in 1997 -- fled with his accomplices in a waiting car, which police believe had been stolen and fitted with false license plates.

	Varifrank: Hello Amnesty International?
		The prison raid was the second in a month as President Vicente Fox's government tries to regain control of the nation's penitentiaries, where a volatile mix of corruption and vendettas among imprisoned drug lords has corroded security and led to escapes and the deaths of inmates and guards.
		He claimed that prison officials had made derogatory remarks about Iranians and when he protested, he was beaten, kicked repeatedly in the groin, placed in solitary confinement, and punished by being forced to wear leather handcuffs which the guards could tighten to cause pain.
		The government's failure to provide the prisoners with humane conditions and the punitive measures taken against them in prison represent additional layers of punishment for their "crimes" that, in several instances, rise to the level of torture.

		Prisons conventionally are institutions authorized by governments and forming part of a country's criminal justice system, or as facilities for holding prisoners of war.
		Individuals may also be committed to prison by a court before a trial, verdict or sentence, generally because the court determines that there is a risk to society or a risk of absconding prior to a trial; such pre-trial imprisonment is known as remand.
		Prisons are often rated by the degree of security, ranging from minimum security (used mainly for nonviolent offenders such as those guilty of fraud) through to maximum security and super-maximum or supermax (often used for those who have committed crimes while imprisoned).

	RAMIREZ SANCHEZ v. FRANCE
		The grounds given to justify the decisions to prolong the applicant's detention in solitary confinement were generally his dangerousness, the need to maintain order and safety in the prison and the likelihood that he might seek to escape; on each occasion, the applicant underwent medical examinations to determine his fitness for solitary confinement.
		This regime meant that the applicant was detained alone in a cell measuring 6.84 m2, which, in his opinion, was dilapidated and poorly insulated; he had no contact with other prisoners or prison warders and was authorised to leave his cell only for a two-hour daily walk.
		During his detention in solitary confinement at the Santé Prison, the cell occupied by the applicant, without cellmates, was sufficiently large for one prisoner and contained a bed, a table and washing and toilet facilities; it also had a window which provided natural light.

		It further appears from a letter sent in December 2000 from International Prison Watch to the regional prison authorities that the applicant had not given any instructions to seek to have him transferred to another prison and that the treatment he was receiving in Poissy Prison seemed adequate in view of his medical condition.
		In addition, the Law of 4 March 2002 on patients’ rights allowed prisoners’ sentences to be suspended if they were suffering from a life-threatening illness or if their condition was incompatible in the long term with their continued detention.
