Honest mistake in line 1 with spelling, the first word "This" is missing a "T" and so ends up as "his",
Not sure if 2. does anything,
3. has a pretty neat definition, it could have some improvements but I would also recommend making the Definitions before the Legislation,
4. ehh??? not much to say, could use a better definition?

I'd also recommend adding a Right to Vote or something like that if you believe they should have the right to vote (I personally do, but you do you,)

[Kenmoria]

I'd also recommend adding a Right to Vote or something like that if you believe they should have the right to vote (I personally do, but you do you,)

(OOC: That would contradict Voting Equality for Freed Inmates, which reserves to member states the decision as to whether to grant currently incarcerated individuals suffrage.)

(OOC: That would contradict Voting Equality for Freed Inmates, which reserves to member states the decision as to whether to grant currently incarcerated individuals suffrage.)

I see, that also begs the question, someone should probably look into whether or not that constitutes NatSov,

(OOC: That would contradict Voting Equality for Freed Inmates, which reserves to member states the decision as to whether to grant currently incarcerated individuals suffrage.)

I see, that also begs the question, someone should probably look into whether or not that constitutes NatSov,

I purposefully did not add Voting for prisoners due to the issue that it would encroach NatSov and would not be a plausible clause as there would be strong opposition against this.

“Your definitions should go at the start of the active clauses. Also, where clause 1 says ‘his Resolution proposes...’ it would be better to have ‘This resolution mandates...’.”

Thank you for your feedback, I have taken this suggestion and as such have edited it and have now placed a 7th Draft on the OP

Honest mistake in line 1 with spelling, the first word "This" is missing a "T" and so ends up as "his",
Not sure if 2. does anything,
3. has a pretty neat definition, it could have some improvements but I would also recommend making the Definitions before the Legislation,
4. ehh??? not much to say, could use a better definition?

I'd also recommend adding a Right to Vote or something like that if you believe they should have the right to vote (I personally do, but you do you,)

That's not an 'honest mistake' in terms of GA.

[Micho]

Please add the right that prisoners may not be denied sanitation products for medical care if nessasary.

Actually that was, when I was writing the BB Code I accidentally deleted "T" and didn't realise until it had been pointed out to me. It has been fixed.

I will look at scripting something along these lines, but I will need to check if there is an already existing resolution that covers this , and this will take some time to complete.

[Tinhampton]

Assistant Bianca Venkman: The World Assembly is not a bloke. Your title and categories are good, but as par for the course, your... my rewrite:

The World Assembly,

Recognising the large amounts of freedom that international law currently grants to nations with regards to operating prisons,

Concerned that, as a result of this deregulated environment, prisoners are being deprive of basic rights afforded to the unincarcerated population, and

Seeking to increase the amount of dignity and respect that is granted to prisoners throughout its jurisdiction,

Hereby enacts the following articles, with the intention of securing by law those rights that belong to prisoners.

1. Definitions: For the purpose of this resolution:
   
   1. a "court-imposed sentence" is a sentence handed down upon an individual by a court of law which requires that individual to be executed, imprisoned for any length of time, or (providing that the individual is deemed to be criminally insane) confined to a mental health facility for any length of time,
   2. a "prisoner" is an individual who has been detained by an agent of the state, or who is currently being imprisoned in any member nation on the basis that they have violated that nation's law, and
   3. "four percent of the year" means the equivalent of one twenty-fifth of a calendar year in the nation in which a prisoner is being detained.
2. The right to life:
   
   1. No person shall be subject to extra-judicial killings after receiving a court-ordered sentence.
   2. Prison authorities must impose reasonable safeguarding measures to protect all prisoners, including those in solitary confinement, which must include (but are not limited to) measures to ensure that they do not enter a situation that could lead to the death of any sapient being.
   3. Where a person is suffering from a terminal illness and is serving a court-ordered sentence that provides for parole, the relevant authorities must ensure that such a person is able to apply for and resultantly receives parole at any time for the sole purpose of receiving palliative care in a suitable alternative environment, such as a hospice.
3. The right to not be tortured:
   
   1. No prisoner may be kept in solitary confinement for any length of time if they do not pose a threat to the prison population.
   2. No prisoner may be continually kept in solitary confinement for longer than four percent of the year unless it is determined that they are deemed to be a considerable threat to the prison population, in which case this status must be reviewed every day and they must be released whenever they are no longer deemed to post such a threat.
   3. Prison authorities must not use solitary confinement of any given prisoner as a pretext to obtain a confession from that prisoner that they committed any criminal offence that they are suspected of having committed.
   4. Prison authorities, including those acting on their behalf, who choose to violate Articles 3a, 3b or 3c above must be treated by law as being complicit in torture.
   5. No person who is confined to a mental health facility may be compelled to perform to an audience without their informed consent, nor to be used in medical trials under any pretext.
4. The right to liberty: All prisoners who have been assessed as posing no danger to the unincarcerated population have the right to request parole (or release from prison) after the appointed time, subject to Article 2c, regardless of the offence they have been imprisoned for; save that no prisoner is required under this section to request or accept parole.
5. The right to education: In the interest of reintegration, all prisoners must be able to easliy access appropriate educational materials and obtain educational qualifications throughout their imprisonment.
6. Interpretation: While this resolution is in force, Articles 2, 3, 4, and 5 shall have full effect in all member states. Section titles have no effect.

Honest mistake in GA means something completely different to a spelling error

[Keswickholt]

Assistant Bianca Venkman I appreciate your feedback on this topic, I will be in touch shortly to discuss this further.

I have noted some of your changes to the proposal. Some of them I believe will benefit this proposal.

[Keswickholt]

OOC: Bump, I can refocus on this now

[Jabberwocky]

This fails to take into account nonhuman prisoners.

[Keswickholt]

This fails to take into account nonhuman prisoners.

How so?

[Imperium Anglorum]

What does this proposal do that Treatment of Inmates not do?

[Keswickholt]

What does this proposal do that Treatment of Inmates not do?

Reading the two, this draft proposal is not about the treatment of prisoners but protecting certain basic rights of the prisoners, when I wrote this back in July 2020 I did a fair amount of research into not standing on another person's toes, which at first glance of the one you mentioned it seems I did, but having read the two there are differences and this also extends to Mental Health Institutions as well.

[Imperium Anglorum]

What do the torture provisions do that Prevention of Torture does not do?

[Keswickholt]

What do the torture provisions do that Prevention of Torture does not do?

This is specifically for the purpose of protecting the rights of Prisoners and as such it is necessary to add a clause that may have been used elsewhere to help those who are reading the proposal to interpret it in the way it was intended.

To be more specific the Sub-Clauses define it differently and is more Specific to Prisoners rather than the entire Population. The Proposal is about Protecting those rights by closing down loopholes, such as Solitary confinement being used for long term punishment as this can affect the Mental Health of a prisoner and can be used as a torture method.

OOC: Just a friendly reminder that if a national government interprets the clauses of PoT as non-applicable to their prisoners, they are would be in violation of PoT as well as GAR 2. Nations can't make up interpretations willy nilly to fit their whims.

[Keswickholt]

I am stepping away from NationStates and hereby withdraw this proposal
