Summary/Abstract: All European prison administrations recognize the importance of the European Prison Rules both in terms of setting standards and from a practical point of view. However, the complex and sensitive topic of the protection of persons deprived of their liberty deserves full attention, since despite the existence of a large number of international documents in the segment of the prohibition of torture and inhuman and degrading treatment, these phenomena do not belong to the past, but are still widespread. Although great progress has been made in the normative field in the field of the prohibition of ill-treatment, which is now the subject of more detailed and effective prohibitions than ever before, torture and other forms of ill-treatment still represent a problem throughout the world. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the content of the most important international documents on the protection of human rights and to point out international documents and European Prison Rules that also relate to the rights of prisoners.
