Neglect Me Not: Elder Abuse in Prisons

On September 29, 2013 · 3 Comments

Recent human and civil rights reports and research suggest that the poor social and environmental conditions of confinement have devastating effects, particularly for older persons. Victimization, medical neglect, discrimination, and a lack of age appropriate services for older adults in prison exacerbate physical and mental illnesses. These conditions present as a violation of human rights and cruel and unusual punishment, and for older adults fall under the World Health Organization’s definition of elder abuse. Society is largely unaware of these concerns, and there is even less awareness of the traumatic narratives of physical, sexual, psychological and emotional abuse, exploitation and intentional or unintentional neglect that began long before these older adults reached their golden years in prison.
