Legal Concerns During the period under review, ZACRO noted with concern that the majority of prisoners in Zimbabwe were relatively poor people. These often lacked resources or funds to cater for legal representation. Some of them send to prison committed minor crimes but can not be released. This was because they did not have lawyers to represent them. Some remanded inmates could spend over two years without trial. Given this situational analysis of the prisons in Zimbabwe ZACRO had to emerge as a force to reckon regarding sourcing and rendering humanitarian assistance to the target group who included the inmates, exoffenders and relatively to their families too. This was besides being engaged in other programs and activities involving prison visits, rehabilitation, restoration, the half way home and lobbying work in its interventions during the period under review 13
