Rwanda - Severely Overcrowded Prisons
(11 Aug 1995) T/I: 10:59:06
Conditions for Hutu prisoners in Rwandan jails continue to
deteriorate. The prison in Gitarama, designed to hold 400 inmates,
now holds 7000. Disease is rife and the conditions are so cramped that many prisoners have had feet amputated after spending long periods standing.

This is *RADICALLY* different from what the preceding government had done, which was to rape and KILL every single person it captured. Those prisoners are alive. The ones captured by the previous government are all dead. It’s a big difference. It’s unreasonable to try to gloss it over.

up to that point, those genocidaires had been in charge of building prisons. Instead of 400 they should have built one containing 7000 before they launched the genocide. It’s their fault for not planning ahead.

This was in 1995 a year after the 1994 genocide against the tutsi. Rwanda was very underdeveloped and the crimerates were through the roof since the 1 million lives were taken by probably 100,000 others, who are the ones you see in that prison. They sure as hell deserved to be there or worse places but in the end, the governemnt built several new facilities for them and forgave plenty of them.
I'd rather got death sentence than has to live like that.

You should be praying for the victims of the 1994 genocide against the tutsis who these holligans your sympathising with perpertrated. They didn't even deserve a place as good as this. Anyway, these conditions were a result of the fact that the government was overwhelmed at the time, with the number of criminals probably being 5 times the amount of criminals the prison facilities could accomodate. However new and better facilities were built and a lot of them were forgiven so the conditions were much better a few years down the road.
