Abstract

The present article discusses the special categories with multiple needs that any penitentiary establishment faces in its practice periodically. The purpose of this article is to briefly discuss and explain the importance of granting the PWDs with a status, appropriate to their multiple needs; as well as the importance of addressing such comprehensive needs in the context of the treatment of persons with disabilities and, on its basis, establishing conditions for serving a sentence on an equal basis with other convicted persons and in line with honour and human dignity.
