Bunia Prison in Ituri, eastern DRC, is marked by extremely harsh living conditions.
In 2007, a mutiny erupted, underscoring extreme tension caused by severe overcrowding and resource shortages.
Detainees, including minors, are crammed into cells without enough beds and no electricity.
At the time of the photos, the infirmary was completely empty, revealing a near-total absence of medical care.
In this dire situation, families and several NGOs often provide food and assistance to prisoners. This grim reality highlights serious failures in the local prison system and the essential solidarity needed to survive in such inhumane conditions.
