Haiti
Haitian prisons are some of the most overcrowded and under-resourced in the world, with inmates living in conditions that are often described as inhumane. Personal space is almost non-existent, with multiple inmates sharing a single bed and washing themselves in front of others. The lack of basic amenities and the mixing of women, men, and children within the same facilities further exacerbate the already dire conditions.
The overcrowding in Haitian prisons is a reflection of the broader challenges facing the country’s criminal justice system, where limited resources and corruption have led to widespread human rights abuses. The conditions in these facilities are a stark reminder of the urgent need for reform within the Haitian prison system.
