UN passes "Mandela Rules" on treatment of prisoners. Where does Montana stand?
The United Nations Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice approved the Mandela Rules last week. The Mandela Rules are named in honor of the late South African President Nelson Mandela, who was imprisoned for 27 years by the country's apartheid regime. They are the revised United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners. These rules are the leading international body of principles on the treatment of prisoners, but they were drafted in 1955 and were badly in need of updating.
