Abstract
Telemedicine is increasingly being considered as a viable solution to advance healthcare organization, widening accessibility and increasing the quality of service delivery. However, implementing telemedicine in prison settings is not unproblematic as it gives rise to a range of ethical issues. In light of this, this article seeks to provide an ethical perspective for prison telemedicine, offered as a point of departure for stimulating a better integration of telemedicine in correctional systems. This entails examining this innovation as part of a wider strategy aimed at fully addressing the medical needs of prison populations.
