In many parts of the world, prison conditions reflect severe human rights violations that raise questions about our values and humanity, as deterring crime shouldn't come at such a high ethical cost.
While some argue that no punishment is bad enough for criminals, we must weigh this against the human rights violations prevalent in the worst prisons and reflect on our empathy.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights sets a standard for humane treatment, yet many of the worst prisons blatantly disregard these principles, highlighting a deeper issue of accountability.
Despite the lack of binding legal force, the principles laid out in the Universal Declaration serve as a foundation for advocating for the rights of those incarcerated globally.
