Abstract

Established by the law on the orientation and programming of justice of September 2002, the specially equipped hospital unit (UHSA) provides psychiatric treatment with full medical care to prisoners, in direct cooperation with the prison. In this specific social context, can the organisation of the care and the structure itself represent a lasting solution?

Keywords: care; detention; détention; prison; soin; specially equipped hospital unit; unité hospitalière spécialement aménagée.
