Abstract:

We ed 54 publications for data mining, we found data45 countries, which were organized into categories. Most of the literature addressed strategies adopted by countries with advanced economies. All of them mentioned some strategies to reduce viral transmission – the major ones were restriction/suspension of family visits and extricating – and interventions to improve infrastructures in prisons, the provision of a telephone and/or other device for calls or video calls being the most mentioned. Policies to mitigate the effects of the epidemic and interventions were found in publications referencing 33 countries, with the main focus on keeping family contact and reviewing the public safety policy. With regard to governance policies, measures11 countries were reported, the most cited being the reinforcement of national authority.
