The law provides that death-sentenced prisoners are to be incarcerated in individual cells during their first five years in prison. Afterwards, they may share cells with other death-sentenced prisoners during the daytime.  The law also provides that death-sentenced prisoners have the right to take breaks and go on walks within their special facilities, either alone or with their fellow prisoners.  As of January 2011, we were unable to determine if these provisions are actually enforced.
As of January 2011, we found no reports describing actual prison conditions on death row.
As of January 2011, we had not identified foreign nationals currently under sentence of death in Algeria.

The Code of Penal Procedure and the Code of Military Justice provide that a defendant being tried by the Criminal Tribunal or the Military Tribunal must be assigned a lawyer by the court at the time of his first appearance if he is not already represented. Legal representation is compulsory for persons charged with a felony.  These provisions have been altered by the 2009 amendments to the legal aid system, which guarantee free legal assistance, on request by a defendant appearing before an investigating judge and to defendants tried by a Criminal Tribunal.  The Legal Aid Ordinance provides that a judge must decide whether the request is justified (“bien fondé”),  implying that people tried by the Criminal Tribunal may be denied legal assistance.
Under the 2009 amendments to the legal aid system, legal aid is provided on request to defendants filing an appeal before the Criminal Division of the Supreme Court, when the sentence exceeds a five-year term of imprisonment.  As of January 2011 we found no reports indicating how this provision is enforced in practice.
