Prisons and detention centers Thorough infection control of the new corona 4:14 on April 24, Nichibenren
As the new coronavirus infection spreads, prisons and detention centers are at high risk of causing mass infections, so the Nichibenren-Japan Federation of Bar Associations should take thorough measures such as housing each person as much as possible. I made a statement asking for it.
In criminal facilities nationwide, infections of prison officers and defendants have been confirmed at Osaka detention centers and Tokyo detention centers, and infections have also been confirmed at detention centers of Shibuya police station in Tokyo.
Regarding this, Chairman Aranaka of the Nichibenren issued a statement on the 23rd, saying, "In many cases, prisons and detention centers are often forced to house large numbers in narrow spaces, and avoid the so-called" three denseness "of closed, dense, and close contact. Because of this, it is very difficult for people to get infected in the facility, and there is a high risk of a mass infection, which could cause serious damage to health. ”
In addition, the Ministry of Justice and police all over the country should house each room as much as possible, thoroughly disinfect and ventilate, rigorously examine the need for arrest and detention in each case, and suspect infection. We demand thorough measures such as promptly inspecting prisoners and defendants at medical institutions.
The JFBA has also issued a statement calling for the immigration facility, which houses a large number of foreigners to be illegally stayed, to be eliminated.
