ABSTRACT

This article highlights regional variation in the extent of COVID-19 outbreaks in prisons throughout Asia. Stark differences in the utilization of front-end, in-prison, and back-end mitigation strategies designed to prevent and control COVID-19 outbreaks in these prison systems are identified. We conclude by offering our assessment of the nature and (true) extent of COVID-19 outbreaks within countries and across the region; and in the process, we offer a tentative explanation for the large variation we have found in the response to reported COVID-19 outbreaks in prisons and communities across Asia.

对整个亚洲监狱和监狱中COVID-19暴发的检查

摘要

本文重点介绍了整个亚洲监狱中COVID-19暴发程度的地区差异。确定了用于预防和控制这些监狱系统中COVID-19暴发的前端，监狱和后端缓解策略利用方面的明显差异。最后，我们通过评估国家内部和整个区域内COVID-19暴发的性质和（真实）程度来进行评估；在此过程中，我们对在应对亚洲各地监狱和社区中报告的COVID-19暴发的反应中发现的巨大差异提供了初步解释。
