There had been in all 11 deaths since January 2002. When the delegation spoke to the prisoners, they complained of sometimes being obliged to carry the corpses of their co-detainees who had died, without being supplied with appropriate protection (gloves) by the prison authorities. Furthermore, they informed the delegation that the medical reports, which should be included in defendants' files, are often lost in the machinery of the justice system. Finally, the detainees made allegations of corruption against some doctors who accept bribes to confirm the age of those who claim that they are minors or to prescribe a special diet. The prisoners complained that they received no assistance if they fell ill at night, and that the doctor did not see them as often as the prisoners in other sections. Condemned prisoners in maximum security unit said that more than six of them had died in two months (JanuaryFebruary 2002). They complained of being looked at like animals by doctors, and of not being taken seriously when taken to Mulango hospital.

Prisoners confirmed that due to congestion, incoming prisoners could not be segregated which contributed to the spread of disease. They also complained of being given expired medicine. In Mpigi local prison, sick prisoners have consultations in the hospital which is at a distance of 500m Those who need to be hospitalized are admitted to Mulago hospital. 23
