Government will build until the end of 2023 about 63 district-level penitentiary establishments, announced yesterday, in the city of Beira, the Minister of Justice, Constitutional and Religious Affairs, Helena Kida.

According to the minister, the idea is to decongest the prison infrastructure and thus humanize prison services.

As a way to make the process more flexible, the government source recommended to the National Penitentiary Service, at the provincial level, to start making contacts with the district governments for the acquisition of land for this purpose.
