dc.descriptionA research report created in collaboration between Criminal Justice Honours students and the Research Desk of the Namibian Police, led by Faculty from the Criminal Justice Department of the Namibia university of Science and Technology.
dc.description.abstractPretrial detention facilities worldwide are overcrowded. In Namibia the number of inmates in remand detention has been on the increase latest since Independence in 1990, and the same problems which can be observed elsewhere plague Namibia. People who are detained in overcrowded facilities struggle to maintain their self-respect and emotional stability. Violence, exploitation, extortion and lack of privacy are generally contributors. In July 2021 we laid down a baseline study proposal under the title Rethinking pre-trial detention in Namibia (Schulz and Bruyns, 2021) with the intention to investigate the reality of pre-trial detention on the ground, i.e., in the remand facilities throughout Namibia.
