The Kerala State Human Rights Commission has taken a strong stance on prison healthcare, issuing strict directives to prison authorities to ensure inmates receive timely medical treatment.
The move comes after a complaint from a prisoner who claimed difficulty in accessing medical care following a work-related incident in the jail, where another inmate allegedly blocked his access to a doctor.
The Commission, led by Justice Alexander Thomas, insists that all prisoners receive necessary healthcare, warning of zero tolerance for future lapses, despite prison authorities' denial of the allegations.
