I am living with HIV/AIDS, and unlike prisoners who are not living with the disease, I am not eligible for the prison's work-study programmes. Is this valid?
Although it is the duty of the prison to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS, the freedom of movement of inmates living with HIV/AIDS cannot be restricted by almost absolute confinement, as this violates the inmates' rights to equality and dignity (Sentence T-577/05).
I am incarcerated in a prison and living with HIV/AIDS. Can I apply for a transfer to the city where my relatives live?
Yes. Moving inmates living with HIV/AIDS to the city where they have family members to help them cope with their illness is not only legitimate but imperative, as people living with HIV require the support of their family to maintain their emotional well-being (Judgment T-376/13).
