There are reports from Madagascar of Spartan detention conditions and precarious overcrowding in prisons. In the prison in Tulear, for example, about 400 men are housed in six large cells without furniture or mats. The prisoners spend a large part of their day in the prison yard, where it is often extremely hot. An even bigger problem is food. Without the support of relatives, it is difficult to survive in long-term detention. Many prisoners have also contracted tuberculosis, an endemic disease in this area.
