The anti-crime campaign initiated in 2001 has a major impact on prisoner accommodation. Some of the persons arrested and convicted in Maputo were transferred to other provinces' prisons because there was not enough room available in Maputo prisons. Such is the fate of SI young prisoners from Maputo, sentenced to three years imprisonment, and transferred to Mabalane Penitentiary Prison. There, they were put in the cells of an old budding which was no longer in routine use before their arrival, except for disciplinary purposes. These cells are damp, dilapidated, dark, dirty and poorly ventilated. In Maputo Central Prison, the director reported that the anti-crime campaign caused some disorganisation as the prison had to cope with a massive influx of young prisoners. Consequently, they could not properly segregate adults and young people. Water and sanitation In virtually all the facilities visited, both prison authorities and prisoners report that water and sanitation is a serious problem. Se \\ I .ide systems were often blocked due to overcrowding and run down faciliuLs I lie delegation noted intolerable effluent and smells during its visits and dirty or stagnant water was a health hazard in many of the places visited such as in Maputo Civil Prison, Maputo Maximum Security Prison, Tete Provincial Prison, Tete Maximum Security Prison, Maputo Central Prison. In Maputo Central Prison, the sewerage system is under repair and Tete Provincial Director is trying to secure funds to upgrade the provincial prison sewerage system. In some places, rubbish disposal is difficult and it is buried inside the prisons. This can only add to the problems (Maputo Civil Prison, Maputo Maximum Security Prison). Electricity Most prisons lack proper and safe electrical systems. Cells Prisoners normally sleep in cells or dormitories. But some sleep in corridors (Maputo Civil Prison) or outside in the yard, such as in Tete Provincial Prison, where one fifth of the prisoners sleep outside due to the lack of space inside. However, they all sleep inside when drams. In some prisons, the cells virtually lack any ventilation. At Moatize Prison, the women's cell lacks aeration. At Tete Maximum Security Prison, only three cells out of ten have a small window. It is so hot and wet inside that prisoners go naked. Light is also a problem as there LS only one bulb. Detention in Tete Maximum Security is life-threatening. Police cells are mostly very smelly and dirty, with neither ventilation nor light. 12 Kitchenv In Maputo Central Prison, Machava Maximum Security Prison and Moatize Prison in Tete Province, kitchen facilities are inadequate. Equipment is defective and wastes energy. Poor organisation has an adverse impact on the number and quality of meals served. Bathing and toilet facilities Shower cubicles and toilet facilities are non-existent or insufficient considering the large number of prisoners. Despite attempts to clean them, toilets are often very smelly. Sometimes, toilets or showers cannot be used due to shortage of water (Mabalane Open Prison or Machava Maximum Security Prison) or, as is sometimes the case in Maputo Central Prison, they can be used during the night only and outdoor latrines are used during the day. At night, prisoners in Mabalane may be allowed to go outside but in Machava, they have to use plastic bags. Some prisoners have buckets at Maputo Central Prison and empty them in the morning when they are allowed outside. There were neither toilets nor water in the police cells visited and people are either allowed to go out or have to relieve themselves inside the cells. In Tete Provincial Prison, the Director is looking for funds to have the toilets upgraded. Dining hall In most of the prisons, like Tete Provincial Prison, there is no dining hall or it is not big enough for all the prisoners (Machava Maximum Security Prison). It may be damaged (Maputo Central Prison); therefore inmates eat in turn, or outside or in their cells. In Mabalane Penitentiary Prison, the 51 young prisoners held separately eat in their cells while the test of the prisoners (long term sentenced) go to the dining hall. The dining hall at Maputo Central Prison is used foi watching TV. Outdoor facilities Access to exercise and outdoor facilities or grounds varies. In some places, there is potentially space that could be used outside restricted periods and areas (Machava Maximum Security, Maputo Central Prison, Maputo Civil Prison and open prisons). In other facilities, such as Tete Provincial Prison and Moatize Prison, space is scarce. Too often prisoners can only sit in the yard and hardly have any exercise due to pressure of numbers. In Tete Maximum Security Prison, the walls are not high enough to ensure security and prisoners' outdoor exercise is consequently very limited. Li
