A recent inspection of the Cap-Haïtien prison by the Association of Volunteers for the Reintegration of Prisoners (AVRED-Haiti) has unveiled a dire humanitarian crisis. The facility, designed to accommodate 500 inmates, currently houses 841 individuals, including 30 women, 16 minors, and 795 men. This severe overcrowding exacerbates the already deplorable living conditions, with cells lacking ventilation, light, and basic sanitation. The prison’s clinic, in a state of disrepair, is staffed by only one doctor and one nurse, leaving 20 inmates suffering from infectious and skin diseases without proper medical care. The kitchen is unsanitary, toilets are overflowing, and the main building is cracked and dilapidated, posing a risk of collapse. AVRED-Haiti has condemned the flagrant violations of human rights, including the lack of legal assistance, inadequate healthcare, food insecurity, and the absence of educational or reintegration programs. The association has called for urgent intervention by the State and its partners to address these issues and uphold the dignity of those deprived of their liberty.
