From what I understand of what I just read on prisoner's rights, there are some that cannot be denied, proper nutritional food and water, medical and dental care, religious practices and material that do not promote violence or disobedience to the law, and the right to due process of the law as long as the case is not frivolous These may not be all of a prisoner's rights but access to that information can be obtained easily at any library. I do know that what we believe as our inalienable rights, which are given to all citizens of the United States are not afforded to prisoners. That is because the prisoner loses those rights when convicted and as long as he/she is incarcerated. That is as it should be. All prisoners should be treated humanely and have their basic needs to sustain descent health and nutrition met, everything else given to them is lagniappe, as we Louisianans say ( a little extra). I am not a lawyer. All of this information and more can be easily found on the Internet

because they are people. The English rule before the Revolution made it so that prisoners had no rights, and often, the prisoners were innocent. By giving prisoners rights (ie to a lawyer, to healthcare, etc.), the founding fathers ensured that prisoners would be treated harshly but fairly.

When people are sent to prison they give up a lot of rights. The constitution addresses trial by jury, reasonable doubt, search and seizure, the right to have an attorney, the right to remain silent, the right not to testify against yourself, the right of a speedy trial, and a trial by jury. To be considered innocent until proven guilty, but once you are sentenced rights are limited.

Yes, inmates still have rights. Their rights are limited, but they still have rights. The security cannot just harass, attack, abuse, etc. them for no reason.

Parental rights is not quite what people think it to be.

Otherwise, for the rest of your child's life, both parents have rights to their children.
