abstract="OBJECTIVE: We aimed to explore aspects of the removal of hanging points from correctional facilities. <br><br>CONCLUSION: An argument can be made that individuals have a right to die/suicide. The United Nations holds that except for freedom of movement, prisoners have the same rights as non-prisoners. The rights of the individual and the duty of many custodial institutions are in conflict. This introduces a conundrum; when all hanging points are removed from correctional facilities, prisoners without mental disorder, but with a sustained wish to die, will not be able to achieve that end, while non-prisoners will be well able to do so.<br><br>© The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists 2016.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
