Spread cost this files of men about virginity but 1st lets begin with a more serious topic jail and detention zambia is notorious for its crowded prisons people held in pretrial detention i young men the inmates often spend years behind bars waiting for the case to be had by a court of law so why is the Justice System so broken will put this question such as im going on bus about to germany. In just a bit before we get into that heartbreaking report on a young man who spent 2 years in jail for a crime he did not commit young inmates are leaving the Lusaka Magistrates Court they are among the lucky ones their cases just have been heard in a court of law of a 7000 be an intimate as to waiting for their turn because study or work while they are in detention and often have no choice but to pay bribes in exchange for adequate food water and shelter. And the reality of life behind bars far too well he spent 2 years in pretrial detention after being falsely accused of modern palooka it was locked up in a cell with 15 other prisoners poorly fed and with no access to hygiene facilities the owner in mexico minded him of. But. One that there are moments when i have flashbacks to the nightmare of prison. You know when i when i feel lonely my memories of prison haunts me. I ask myself why i had to go through all that. Over the death of. Innocent kaluga was eventually released with the help of. A lawyer who works with the human rights organization. Which helps get innocent to juvenile inmates out of jail. But challenges that are beer firstly you find that. Premises are not enough the number of judges are not enough and then theres some backlog so there are some cases which have been backlog for so many years the. Sandia is home to the majority of africas most overcrowded prisons. With up to 25000 inmates nationwide detention facilities like this one in the saga have exceeded 3 times their capacity in 2017 the zombie Human Rights Commission found that intimate often just given one meal a day overcrowded cells also increase their chances of contracting tb and hip otitis. For the moment kaluga has found a job as a waiter he was relieved 6 months ago i was louis intervened and managed to get his case heard a court of law where he was found not guilty but a liver saved an official apology instead he still struggles with feelings of powerlessness after being treated so poorly by the authorities. In the new hour but. It was a very painful experience but there was nothing i could do about it i used to cry in the beginning but then i ventured a resigned to my fate i used to wonder why this happened to me what happened happened but i was scared badly then its like a woman meaning that even the public to. Then system its really understaffed so there is a desperate need for Legal Assistance in the past 6 months alone u. P. A. Zambia assisted around 1440. 00 inmates like innocent 180. 00 of them were under 18 who were and how cool leaks also relate relate checking up on former inmates to see how they are coping with life after prison it breaks me present it breaks me to live this hole in my heart thinking if it was me how what would i do how would i feel i put myself in the situation i put my brother investiture asian epidemic of my family in the situation and see what would i do how would i feel and thats the reason that can cause me to put in what i can in order for them to actually help out their zombie and Home Affairs Ministry is responsible for kind of lucas to in those 2 years however the Ministry Says they are not a viable for comment and refuse to grant us access to the prison its still far there has been no sign of change in zambia the number of young people being locked up and held in pretrial detention is only increasing in more motivation is needed to tackle these african light a problem. There must be very frustrating and painful experience likely that a guy didnt really go out of their stories like these beg the question why did these things happen give us some more insights we have about germany. Now studio welcome to the 77 percent thank you very much and thanks for giving us this opportunity so you sort of case reports whats your response to that because i saw the case its very very unfortunate that something could happen to somebody who is innocent but glad to say that a lot of efforts are being put in by the government of zambia to ensure that term. Not only do such cases recall but theyre also trying to turn the Prison Services right now into something that helps to reform people having said that there is not excuse for any injustice for somebody to stay in prison without being convicted for the crime for 2 years and it was because of these kind of cases that we have seen especially the government of president at global by the way our president is a lawyer he is known before getting into Public Office for having taken up more such cases of innocent people than probably any other one is known on record presently for saying i would rather see 10 guilty men walk free than to have one innocent person wrongfully detained exactly what the thing is some people would say is probably a bit too much talk and less action because were hearing things are supposed to be valid but the situation is worsening so what exactly is being done you know the very issue of saying that the situation is worsening in my view actually is somebody that can be turned around into a positive in the olden days such cases never came out on the International Forum they never came out on the local forum so it appears as if they are on the increase and this is largely because we have been much more aggressive and much more open government sort of things that would have otherwise been suppressed in the fast in the past due to limitations on what you can cover and now coming out i think it is a good thing that our country and by the way this is not even equally zambian problem i think it is something that is widespread in a civil case that is it is no excuse of them but i dont think we can very progressive move moves i know that from the last report i think about 3000000. 00 or much more have been set aside in order to try and be sure that there is more police that. Been recruited in the recent mall magistrates that have been reported there is more judges that have been put into the judicial system well hear more from zambias on bus with out to germany shortly but now reacher away from uganda also has some thoughts on this issue this this has song criminals recorded as proof of the deed of. The morning. But see some results its a huge problem when the cholera. Is not. One. That was the 1st of many more raw props to come i hope here enjoyed it but lets stick to the topic we trial detainees i want you to imagine youve been sent to prison for me and youre not even sure why unfortunately this is a common problem across africa. More than 1000000 people in african prisons. 40 percent of them control detainees in prison they face for hygiene violence in lack of legal aid. According to the university of london of 90 percent libya has the highest number of the detainees in Africa Nigeria africas most populous country its 68 percent and in zambia 28 percent. Overcrowding is also illegal. The west offend uganda and zambia. Prison occupancy levels that are 3 times higher than your special. You had the situation and it seems as a challenge across many african countries whys that. I think it has a lot to do with a great lot of investment in the past and also maybe a realisation that. When people thrown into jail or into the the reform systems theyre not really supposed to go there to get punished but theyre supposed to be getting there so that they can be reformed in order for them to come and integrate in the system in the normal system in zambias case because you had asked what we are doing rather is it just rhetorical why are we just paying me mayor lip service in the zombie a one thing im comfortable of telling you on record is the fact that we are already investing in getting more space for the prisons so that it can be more reformative than punitive the facility that you showed earlier on in the program that facility is as old as 55 years old it has a decreased since the number of offenders has been increasing and there is this tacit mistrust that confirmation by the government of knowing that this is a problem so how do we tackle this problem lets be more better facilities wrapping it up in daydreaming solutions shot one is to ensure that there is more facilities much better facilities that ensure that there is proper human rights 2nd is to increase on the number of judges a number of magistrates who should make sure that the backlog of cases taken care of much fuss thats what are people do not have to wait for 2 years or 3 integration integration system when these great people come out of the Reform Service how are we enter integrating with them in order to make them a much better part of Society Thanks very much mr mcwhorter thank you.
