Pretoria jail 'a time bomb' - SA

[dArKeR]

Pretoria - Inmates at Pretoria's Local Prison were detained under "atrocious conditions", according to a report by two advocates handed to the city's high court on Monday.

Judge Essop Patel earlier this year requested the Pretoria Bar Council to appoint advocates to investigate complaints by five prisoners, who approached the court for help, saying that they were incarcerated under inhuman conditions that violated their human rights.

In their report the advocates recommend a commission of enquiry into conditions at the prison, saying there would not be a quick and easy solution to the prisoner's application.
