Resumé

English title: Use of pepper spray in Danish prisons and detention centres

This article discusses the use of pepper spray in Danish prisons and detention centers. Using qualitative interviews with prison officers and inmates as well as reviews of reports from prison officials about their use of pepper spray, the article examines whether the Danish rules and practices fully comply with human rights requirements and recommendations. The article offers insights into the situations in which pepper spray is typically used, where it is used and who it is used against. The article expresses concern about the use of pepper spray particularly in confined spaces and against mentally ill inmates. The authors argue that the use of pepper spray in Danish prisons should be more restrictive and more precisely regulated.
