Core Tip	Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in prisoners is a social health problem: It is more frequent than in the general population, but access to proper management and treatment is more difficult. In this setting HCV infection can be easily transmitted due to overcrowded conditions, sharing supplies and particularly by drug use. In the past, HCV treatment was rarely administered to prisoners, often because they did not stay in the same structure long enough. Also, the risk of HCV re-infection is high in inmates. New policies should be applied to guarantee prisoners the same care as the general population, particularly in view of the new, shorter and more effective anti-HCV treatments.
