Breakfast is cold sugarless porridge full of sand, cockroaches and flies. Supper is half-cooked cold ugali and rotten beans full of worms and stones. Even a pig would refuse to eat this crap. There is no running water in the prison. We don't take baths or wash our clothes.
Toilets look like open sewers.
To reach one, an inmate must wade through maggots, urine and shit. Lack of water and basic hygienic facilities causes serious diseases like cholera. But the prison authorities do not seem to worry about the potential health problems. I looked at the man for a minute, and then walked away, boiling with rage. This afternoon, I had a long, serious talk with Wang'ondu.
