The article explores the early years of the campaign for 'ordinary', not politically-aligned, prisoners' rights in Ireland. It argues that this campaign has often been overshadowed by the activities of 'political prisoners,' who only constituted a small minority of prisoners in the period. The article follows the development and changing tactics of the ordinary prisoners' movement, through the rise and fall of the Prisoners' Union (PU) (1972-73) and into the early years of the Prisoners' Rights Organisation (PRO) (1973-76), which would become the longest-lasting and most vocal penal reform organisation in Ireland, until the formation of the Irish Penal Reform Trust in 1994. It argues that the movement constantly adapted its tactics to address emerging issues and opportunities. Ultimately, it contends that by 1976 the PRO was an increasingly legitimate voice in Ireland's public discourse on prisons. It shows that, although the campaign did not achieve any major penal reforms in this period, it had a significant impact on public debates about prisons, prisoners' mental health, the failures of the penal system, and prisoners' entitlement to human rights. ; Wellcome Trust

The article follows the development and changing tactics of the ordinary prisoners' movement, through the rise and fall of the Prisoners' Union (PU) (1972–3) and into the early years of the Prisoners' Rights Organisation (PRO) (1973–6), which would become the longest-lasting and most vocal penal reform organisation in Ireland, until the formation of the Irish Penal Reform Trust in 1994.

This paper examines two issues: the author's recent research on the capacity of prisons to incorporate human rights considerations into their routine management; and the methods employed in this research in prisons in two Australian jurisdictions. The first element examines the impact of formal human rights instruments on prison management and on the lived experiences of prisoners, and the potential for the practical application of human rights obligations in this environment. The second gives closer analysis to the specific use of qualitative methodologies in carrying out this research, and the potential implications of methodology for subsequent acceptance of research findings by governments.

The subject of human rights, in no way, shape or form, is a restricted subject. There is not really any part of law today in which it doesnt get associated with some degree or other. It covers a wide scope of subjects and has extensive outcomes. The theme which the section manages is one which is inseparably woven with human rights, Prison and detainees rights. Human right is basically a result of vote based system. It is all inclusive worry that cuts crosswise over significant belief system of political and social limits. It has been depicted as touchstone of the improvement and perceived as the fundamental rule basic for the advancement of people. Negligible to state that human right is certainly not another idea yet is as old as the development itself. Given the current woeful state of women detainees, the requirement for jail changes has come into center amid the most recent couple of decades. The Supreme Court and the High Courts have remarked upon the unfortunate conditions winning inside the jails, bringing about infringement of detainees rights. The issue of jail organization has been analyzed by various master bodies set up by the Government of India. The most thorough examination was finished by the All India Jail Reforms Committee of 1980 83, famously known as the Mulla Committee. The National and the State Human Rights Commission have likewise, in their yearly reports, attracted consideration regarding the horrifying conditions in the detainment facilities and encouraged governments to present changes.
