Prisoners decry poor diet

INMATES at Mutare Remand Prison have bemoaned inhumane conditions characterised by lack of clean water, balanced diet, clothing, blankets and overcrowding, which is making the penitentiary a haven for disease.

This came out during a media tour of the prison on Saturday.

Inmates claimed they cannot sleep owing to overcrowding and complained about acute shortages of food and medicines.
