Professor Catherine Comiskey:

There is a case in the International Court of Human Rights, Wenner v. Germany. Mr. Wenner took a case because he was not given his methadone when he went into prison. He took and won that case. There is precedent but people do not necessarily know about it. I know about it because I have written about it and have done the research. There is precedence there. This man took the German Government or the appropriate authority to court and won his case to assert his entitlement to the same treatment in prison as outside. He was not to be given detoxification, or whatever. He was to be given his methadone. The case law is already established.
