In many countries, whether driven by political or media pressure for tighter security, a punitive approach to imprisonment, inadequate staff-prisoner ratios or a lack of training on inter-personal skills, de-escalation and mediation, prison management often takes unnecessary or disproportionate recourse to security measures in violation of detainees’ right to dignity. This paper aims to provide an analytical framework for detention monitoring bodies, including National Preventive Mechanisms, to support them to: understand the concepts of dignity and security in prisons and the relationship between them
identify situations where there is a particular risk that security is overemphasised to the detriment of the dignity of prisoners. These include: over-classification of prisoners, body searches, instruments of restraint, solitary confinement, and staff-prisoner relations.
