Öz

AMAÇ: Cezaevlerinde bulunan ve ağır hastalık, sakatlık veya kocama nedeniyle hayatını yalnız idame ettiremeyen hükümlülerin tahliyelerini düzenleyen kanun maddelerinde, bu kişilerin tıbbi durumlarının Adli Tıp Kurumu tarafından tespit edileceği veya tam teşekküllü bir hastaneden alınan raporun Adli Tıp Kurumu tarafından onaylanması gerektiği belirtilmektedir. Bu çalışma ile Ceza ve Güvenlik Tedbirlerinin İnfazı Hakkında Kanunun 105/A 3-b ve 16/6.maddesi kapsamındaki yeni düzenlemeyle cezaevlerinde hastalıkları nedeniyle hayatını yalnız idame ettiremeyen mahkûm hastaların Adli Tıp Kurumu tarafından değerlendirilmesi, kapsam dâhilindeki olgulardaki kriterlerin belirlenmesi ve sunulması amaçlanmıştır. YÖNTEMLER: Bu kapsamda 31 Ocak 2013-31 Temmuz 2013 tarihleri arasındaki 6 aylık süreçte Adli Tıp Kurumu 3. Adli Tıp İhtisas Kuruluna mevcut hastalığı nedeniyle cezasının ertelenip ertelenemeyeceği, erken tahliye edilip edilemeyeceği veya af kapsamında olup olmadığı sorulmak üzere gönderilen olgular retrospektif olarak incelenmiş ve hayatını yalnız idame ettiremeyeceği kararı verilen olgular tespit edilmiştir. BULGULAR: Adli Tıp Kurumunda raporları düzenlenen 765 olgu içerisinden hayatını yalnız idame ettiremeyen; 105/A 3-b maddesi kapsamında değerlendirilen 9 olgu ve 16/6 maddesi kapsamında değerlendirilen 87 olgu tespit edilmiştir. SONUÇ: Cezaevinde bir başkasının bakımına muhtaç olan kişilerin durumu hızla çözüm gerektirmektedir. Çözümün gecikmesi kişilerin hastalıklarının ilerlemesine, cezaevinde istenmeyen kaza veya komplikasyonlara neden olabilir. Bu nedenle sağlık kuruluşları tarafından düzenlenen kararlarda kişide bakıma muhtaçlık gerektirir bir hastalık tespit edilmediği durumlarda bu kişiler için Adli Tıp Kurumu sevkine gerek olmadığının belirtilmesi, bakıma muhtaçlık gerektirir hastalık tespit edilen durumlarda ise kişinin tüm tıbbi evrakı ile en kısa sürede Adli Tıp Kurumuna sevkinin sağlanması önem arz etmektedir.
