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.
