It should be noted that failure to properly adapt the establishments to the needs of disabled prisoners infringes the applicable international standards and thus requires change104. Mandela Rules The prison regime should seek to minimize any differences between prison life and life at liberty, and prison administrations shall make all reasonable accommodation and adjustments to ensure that prisoners with physical, mental or other disabilities have full and effective access to prison life on an equitable basis.105. ECHR If the authorities take a decision to detain a disabled person, they should ensure to this person the conditions that meet his/her specific needs arising from his/her disability106. The placement of a physically disabled prisoner in a facility that is not adapted to the needs of persons with physical disabilities, and the failure to provide such adaptations constitutes a serious problem, according to the Convention. Consequently, the Court concluded that there had been a violation of Article 3 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, as regards the physical conditions of detention assessed from the point of the applicant’s special needs107.
