Tunisia Prisons Compared to Mediterranean Countries
Recent statistical data indicates that Tunisian prisons are facing a severe overcrowding crisis, with occupancy rates reaching 194.1% of the official capacity. This makes it one of the highest rates in North Africa, ranking second after Egypt, where the occupancy rate is 207.3%. The figures also reveal that more than half of those detained in Tunisian prisons (54.9%) are pre-trial detainees, which is a major factor contributing to the escalation of congestion. Additionally, Tunisian prisons suffer from poor incarceration conditions, highlighting the need to improve ventilation, water supply, and healthcare services. Tunisian authorities are working to reduce overcrowding by implementing alternative sanctions. The recent presidential amnesty, which included offenders involved in minor cases, is part of efforts to mitigate the crisis.
