Abstract

LEIVA-TAPIA, J.. Health care in the prisons of the Kingdom: General Royal Ordinance of prisons of 1834. Rev. esp. sanid. penit. [online]. 2015, vol.17, n.3, pp.75-81. ISSN 2013-6463.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1575-06202015000300003.

In the 19th century, the concept of "prison health" began to make an appearance in Spanish legislation as an integral part of prison management. Thanks to a series of ideological and progressive principles in the same century, laws were decreed and regulated to address the need for adequate medical care for prisoners in Africa, Spain and the overseas territories. The most important of these was the Royal Ordinance of Prisoners of the Kingdom of 1834, and subsequent Regulation of 1844.

Keywords : Prisons; Spain; Health; Legislation; History; 19th Century; Nursing; Feeding; Spiritual Therapies.
