Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze the right to healthcare with charge to public funds provided to European and British persons imprisoned in Spain so as to show how is Brexit going to affect the incarcerated British population in Spain once the United Kingdom (UK) officially leaves the European Union (EU). For that purpose, we will propose an alternative to the funding of the penitentiary healthcare system by checking on both the rules in force related to the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, and the European Regulations on Coordination of the Social Security Systems, that compound, all in all, a complex regulatory frame that we will have to combine with the latest jurisprudential novelties in Spain.
