The hospital is always out of stock with essential tablets. God only knows how many prisoners have lost their lives to the empty hospital. Prisoners without money to provide for medication usually don't make it through the hospital. The official diet is broad beans for breakfast, tasteless, ill-prepared and unfit for consumption. Dinner comes with a plate of rice and a few drops of lentil soup and five pieces of bread for the day.
Meat is only once a week, one piece for every prisoner.
Prisoners like myself who cannot afford the extra cost of buying food to supplement the poor diet have no choice but to live with whatever food is available, to which most stomach infections are attributed. Items like fans, electric lamps, mosquito nets, and a host of many others are included on this list. Sports are equally provided for through contributions from rich prisoners. Footballs, racket balls, bats Ping-Pong tables, balls, etc., are all paid for by those who are in good financial position in order to live a better life behind bars. The good news is we can receive Christian literature through the mail and we Christians are permitted to come together twice weekly to give thanks and prayers to the Lord and Master, Jesus Christ.
