Foreign national prisoners include people who are subject to criminal proceedings and have been deprived of their liberty in a state in which they are neither a national nor a resident. In the United Kingdom, they constitute approximately 10,000 individuals and represent around 12% of the total prison population. Significant health disparity exists within the general prison population compared to society at large and foreign national prisoners suffer even higher rates of both physical and mental health disorders. The impact of detention; extradition, deportation and administrative removal legislation; and mental health service provision for foreign national prisoners is discussed. The right to health encompasses access to appropriate healthcare independent of legal status and like all human rights, extends to foreign national prisoners. Change is required and the provision of equivalent care for foreign national prisoners requires global attention.
外国籍囚犯包括那些正面临刑事诉讼且在其既非国民也非居民的国家被剥夺自由的人。在英国，这类囚犯约有1万人，约占监狱总人口的12%。与广大社会群体相比，普通监狱人口中存在显著的健康差异，而外国籍囚犯身心健康障碍的发生率更高。本文讨论了拘留的影响、引渡、驱逐和行政遣返立法，以及为外国籍囚犯提供心理健康服务的情况。健康权包括不受法律地位影响获得适当医疗保健的权利，与所有其他人权一样，也适用于外国籍囚犯。变革势在必行，为外国籍囚犯提供同等护理需要全球关注。
