Abstract
In 2014, the Department of Health took care of the health care of people deprived of their liberty through the Catalan Institute of Health. The main principle of penitentiary health care is to ensure that the prison population receives care equivalent to that received by the population as a whole. To meet this objective, care in prisons is comprehensive, ie the actions and means of the health system are primarily focused on the prevention of disease and the promotion and rehabilitation of health and treatment of pathology.
