Juzgados de Vigilancia Penitenciaria-

La función del juez de vigilancia penitenciaria se ejerce sólo y exclusivamente en materia de ejecución de penas privativas de libertad, o medidas de seguridad, e igualmente en el control jurisdiccional de la potestad disciplinaria. En cada provincia habrá uno o varios órganos de vigilancia penitenciaria. http://www.istac.rcanaria.es/estadisticas/glosario/j.html

Un preso en una cárcel de Florida, a quien identificaremos como P.R., fue golpeado, herido gravemente en un ojo, y asaltado por otro preso armado con un cuchillo; todo ello por negarse a tener relaciones sexuales anales. Agotado emocionalmente después de seis meses de amenazas y ataques por parte de otros presos, intentó suicidarse cortándose las venas con una cuchilla. En una carta a Human Rights Watch, describió sus inútiles esfuerzos para conseguir que las autoridades le protegieran de los abusos. Resumiendo sus experiencias, escribió: "Lo contrario a la compasión no es el odio, sino la indiferencia".
