| Abstract: |
Given that experience and the fact that 1998 marked the 50th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I decided to investigate how much women prisoners knew about their human rights. The results were dismally reminiscent of that telephone conversation of four years ago. Most women thought human, civil, and Charter rights were all interchangeable terms for the same rights, but were not sure if they applied to them because they were in prison and/or thought they could be removed by prison administrators under the guise of disciplinary action. |
