ACHPR/37/OS/11/437 17 restaurants, tailoring, magazines, newspapers and books hire, knitting, and selling a long array of items. With respect to education, the delegation observed that formal education in Cameroonian prisons is limited due to similar reasons as mentioned above. Some attention, however, is given to the educational needs of juveniles for whom, only in some prisons as Bamenda, particular attention is paid. In Bamenda Central, for instance, the juvenile section has a juvenile reformatory school with two classrooms, and a basketball field. The delegation was informed that the Ministry of Education provided for the teachers in collaboration with the wardens. With respect to religious activities, Cameroonian prisons and police stations generally allow and even encourage their practices. In those prisons wherein there are found social workers, the latter provide advice to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. Open air and restrictions Generally, in most prisons, inmates lived by strictly applied open-air hours usually running from 8:00 am. - 5:00 pm. This, however, might vary depending on the sufficiency of staff and congestion. In police stations and the gendarmeries, such an open-air relaxation is a luxury. In addition to the control being strict. Rules, discipline and sanctions Prisoners are normally informed of the internal rules, regulations and sanctions of the respective prisons at the time of their incarceration. This, however, is not true according to some inmates in Yaounde, Duala, and Bamenda Central Prisons. Most claim that they are In some Central Prisons like, Bamenda and Bafang, there has been attempts to post such internal rules on prison and/or cell walls. The Special Rapporteur, however, notes that it was not able to access copies of the various logbooks for recording complaints. With respect to disciplinary measures and/or sanctions, the delegation noted that there are two main ways of sanctioning inmates across the prisons: solitary confinement, and chaining. Although the procedure for committing inmates to solitary confinement was not clear, the delegation noticed several inmates under solitary confinement. It visited the insides of all such cells and held discussions with the inmates. In almost all cases, inmates complained of arbitrary application of the sanction. With respect chaining, inmates complained that the chain was thick, harmful to the hand, and was applied randomly. There is no distinction between those awaiting trial and those convicted.
