An Act prohibiting the participation of healthcare professionals in the torture and abuse of prisoners

This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly prohibit healthcare professionals from participating in the torture or abusive treatment of prisoners. It defines "healthcare professionals" broadly to include all licensed medical and health-related workers and clarifies that their services are only permitted when aimed at evaluating, treating, or improving a prisoner's health within a standard patient-provider relationship. The legislation forbids doctors and other medical staff from using their skills to facilitate torture, certifying abuse, or being present during such acts, while allowing for necessary medical care and assessments unrelated to interrogation.
