Over-crowded and dilapidated, that's a description of Cambodia's prison infrastructure by the Phnom Penh-based human rights organisation, LICADHO.
LICADHO has just released its latest prison report: "Beyond Capacity: Cambodia's Exploding Prison Population" . It says Cambodia's prison population is in the midst of an unprecedented population boom. Just six years ago, the 18 prisons monitored by LICADHO were at roughly 100 per cent capacity. Since then, the population has grown at an average rate of 14 per cent each year... and while more cells are being built, it's not nearly enough to keep pace with growth.
