Prisons in Ukraine are regulated by the State Penitentiary Service of Ukraine, a part of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine. There are 32 preliminary prisons, 131 penitentiary establishments for adults and 8 colonies for minor criminals in Ukraine.〔(Problems of reforming the penitentiary system of Ukraine and the draft of the Penal Code ), Kharkiv Human Rights Protection Group (21 May 2000)〕 According to Amnesty International, torture and ill-treatment by the police is widespread in Ukrainian prisons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ukraine: Victims of police brutality )〕 Several police officers have been arrested for allegedly torturing detainees. The War in Donbass, that started in the spring of 2014, significantly worsened the lives of inmates in the conflict zone.〔(Ukraine prisoners stranded in legal limbo on the frontline of a war ), The Guardian (1 June 2015)〕 ==Prison population== In early 2010, there were over 147,000 people in prison and more than 38,000 in pre-trial detention facilities in Ukraine, a total three times that of Western European countries, and half as much as in the United States. In 2009, the number of inmates in Ukraine rose for the first time in seven years. Coupled with this increase was a higher instance of suicide (44 prisoners) and HIV (761 deaths therefrom) in penal institutions during 2009; the former compares with 40 suicides in 2008.〔 Between 1996 and 2001, about 26 percent of inmates in various prisons across Ukraine tested HIV-positive. In a January 2006 study, between 15 and 30 percent of prisoners tested HIV-positive.〔(HIV/AIDS and hepatitis C in prisons: the facts ), AIDSLEX (2006)〕 In early 2005, tests showed up to 95 percent of prisoners were hepatitis C positive.〔 In 2011, 6,000 inmates had HIV and 5,500 suffered from an active form of tuberculosis.〔 Various inmates have been kept in pre-trial detention for up to 12 years; there is no legal limit as to length of such incarceration.〔(Living Hell ), Kyiv Post (23 December 2011)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prisons in Ukraine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
