By means of this letter I wish to express my thanks for the descriptive analysis of the report and your brief comments on the situations which you encountered. As Your Excellency had the opportunity to verify, prisons in Mozambique lack substantial improvements in infrastructure, equipment, the inmates' diet, training of prison wardens in the treatment of prisoners, the introduction of alternative systems for serving sentences, strengthening of productive, educational and sports activities, and the rehabilitation of the inmates themselves. These situations are being remedied according to reforms that have been occurring in the field of prisons. 40 41
