Abstract
Given that prison has now become the main and comprehensive punishment and is considered by some jurists to be one of the best and most important punishments, and on the one hand, the prisoner is a human being and has dignity, and with imprisonment, only his physical freedom is taken away and his other citizenship rights are preserved. The moral rights of prisoners from the perspective of domestic and international documents are the subject of this research in a descriptive-analytical manner. Since the prisoner enjoys other citizenship rights during the period of his sentence in prison and only his physical freedom is taken away and he is imprisoned due to violating the freedom and rights of others and not respecting their legal limits and boundaries, the same prisoner enjoys rights in prison that have been emphasized by domestic and international documents. The rights of prisoners are divided into two types, material and moral, and the manifestations of the moral rights of prisoners such as the right to respect, the right to communicate with relatives, the right to health, etc. are among its manifestations.
