TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - The actions of the public prosecution service in the field of health in prisons JO - Ciencia e Saude Coletiva A1 - Puppim, Érika Bastos Targino SP - 2161 EP - 2170 VL - 21 IS - 7 N2 - In the violent, insalubrious and overpopulated prison environment in which the concerns of penitentiary managers are predominantly focused on security, several actors of the legal world work incessantly to ensure that prisoners enjoy living conditions and access to health care in accordance with their constitutional rights. However, their discourses only appear infrequently in academic research and studies on health in prisons. We decided to ask for the opinion of a District Attorney of the State Public Prosecution Office, Dr. Érika Puppim to share with readers her view and the difficulties in her role in the protection of prisoners.
