- Abstract
- The degrading conditions in which many detainees are kept in some prisons in the Americas has urged the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) to order provisional measures (PMs) to close the large gap between the nominal consecration of the rights to life, personal integrity and health of prisoners and their effective enjoyment. This chapter analyses the role of PMs and, more specifically, the role of transformative PMs ordered by the IACtHR to collectively protect persons deprived of liberty, aiming to demonstrate that they can potentially change the reality in which inmates are living. The orders given by the IACtHR, by activating the performance of the diverse powers of the State, articulate a response from PMs as a legal (normative-live) tool and not merely as a formal provision. Specific attention is paid to the transformative PMs adopted in Brazil in the Instituto Penal Plácido de Sá Carvalho case, which can be considered as a benchmark for studies of transformative PMs in the context of prisons.
