Uganda
Ugandan prisons face severe resource shortages, leading to conditions that can only be described as dire. Food scarcity is a persistent problem, forcing inmates to grow, harvest, and prepare their own food. This self-sufficiency is a necessity rather than a choice, as the prison system struggles to meet even the most basic needs of its population.
The harsh realities of Ugandan prisons extend beyond food shortages. Overcrowding, poor sanitation, and limited access to medical care contribute to an environment where survival often depends on the inmates’ ability to fend for themselves. The lack of external support and resources highlights the challenges faced by the Ugandan criminal justice system.
