  • Descrição: The case presented discusses a prisoner, Y, in his mid-sixties with longstanding medical conditions, who was sentenced to prolonged incarceration. Y refused conventional medicine because he believed that his medical condition was exacerbated by this treatment and only complementary alternative medicine (CAM) would be helpful. He therefore demanded to be treated only by CAM. He was ready to pay for the treatment out of his own pocket. In the prison where Y was previously incarcerated over the course of 12 years, he had access to CAM remedies which were purchased by his family. After being transferred to the current facility, Y was denied access to these remedies by the prison physicians. He appealed in court against this decision and was supported by a CAM specialist, who ascertained that the remedies under consideration were not hazardous to Y's health. This case report discusses the ethical aspects of a prisoner's autonomy to choose medical treatment even when his/her autonomy has been severely curtailed by virtue of the incarceration.
