Despite the dissemination of principles of medical ethics in prisons, formulated and advocated by numerous international organizations, health care professionals in prisons all over the world continue to infringe these principles because of perceived or real dual loyalty to patients and prison authorities. Health care professionals and nonmedical prison staff need greater awareness of and training in medical ethics and prisoner human rights. All parties should accept integration of prison health services with public health services. Health care workers in prison should act exclusively as caregivers, and medical tasks required by the prosecution, court, or security system should be carried out by medical professionals not involved in the care of prisoners.
尽管众多国际组织制定并倡导了监狱医学伦理原则，但世界各地的监狱医务人员仍继续违反这些原则，原因是他们对患者和监狱当局存在感知或真实的双重忠诚。医疗保健专业人员和非医疗监狱工作人员需要更多地了解和接受医学伦理和囚犯人权方面的培训。所有各方都应接受将监狱卫生服务与公共卫生服务相结合。监狱中的医疗工作者应只充当护理人员，而由检察机关、法院或安全系统要求的医疗任务应由不参与囚犯护理的医疗专业人员执行。
