cold, flushing system for toilets and laundry drying lines. More development
partners should be approached to render assistance in this regard.
v. The ZHRC recommends that the Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary
Affairs coordinates with fellow Ministries such those responsible for Water
and Health to bring about a holistic approach in addressing the hygiene and
sanitation needs in the prison. There is need for the provision of disinfectants,
toiletries and soap so that the incarceration of inmates does not amount to
inhuman and degrading treatment.
vi. ZPCS should work towards construction of more staff quotas closer to the
institution to alleviate the accommodation and transport challenges of
inmates.
vii. The ZHRC commends and recommends the continuation of health education
that is being provided at the Prison. It is also recommended that HIV/AIDS
education and T.B awareness raising programmes in prisons be intensified. In
the same vein, the ZHRC proposes the expansion of the Prison Clinic through
the construction of more rooms in order to cater for consultations,
examinations and dispensary which will promote inmates’ right to privacy.
