The General Delegation for Prison Administration and Reintegration has categorically denied claims made by an online publication regarding the conditions at Ain Sebaa 1 local prison, asserting that the information presented is unfounded and misrepresents reality.
Clarifying Prison Conditions
In an official statement, the prison administration acknowledged that while overcrowding is indeed an issue, the figures cited concerning the number of inmates per cell are exaggerated and inaccurate. It firmly rejected reports of a potable water supply disruption, clarifying that all areas of the facility receive adequate water supply. Additionally, sanitation facilities within the cells adhere to health standards, and inmates have regular access to showers, including hot water in designated areas.
Access to Amenities
The administration also addressed allegations regarding the deprivation of television and landline access for inmates. Contrary to these claims, they confirmed that all accommodation areas are equipped with televisions, and landline service is available throughout various wings of the prison, allowing inmates to utilize these services in accordance with existing regulations.
Continuity in Prison Transfers
Moreover, the prison management dismissed claims of halting the transfer of inmates to other correctional facilities, stating that transfers proceed regularly based on operational needs established by the General Delegation. This reiteration underscores the commitment to maintaining organizational efficiency within the prison system.
