Corruption poses a significant challenge in criminal justice systems globally, impacting the human rights of prisoners and the effective administration of justice. Detention monitors, with their unique access to prisons, play a critical role in addressing corruption. They can document evidence of corruption, engage in advocacy, and support evidence-based policymaking at various levels.
