In the 19th century, the concept of "prison health" began to make an appearance in Spanish legislation as an integral part of prison management. Thanks to a series of ideological and progressive principles in the same century, laws were decreed and regulated to address the need for adequate medical care for prisoners in Africa, Spain and the overseas territories. The most important of these was the Royal Ordinance of Prisoners of the Kingdom of 1834, and subsequent Regulation of 1844.

En el S. XIX, aparece en España el concepto «Sanidad penitenciaria» en el ordenamiento legal como elemento propio de las prisiones. En este siglo, gracias a una serie de principios ideológicos de carácter humanitario y progresista, se regulan y decretan normas que organizan la necesidad de una adecuada atención médica en los presidios de África, en los peninsulares, insulares y de ultramar. La más importante de ellas en aquella época, la constituyó la Ordenanza General de los Presidios del Reino de 1834, y el posterior Reglamento de 1844 (AU)
