08-07-2006 00:10

As dusk falls, I try to remember…where exactly was I one year ago, as dusk fell?

The African Prison Project

07-07-2006 04:12

An inspirational project set up in Nottingham.

The prison is severely overcrowded. Congestion precipitates the spread of infectious diseases that prevail due to malnutrition and a lack of hygiene, clean water and adequate health care. Prisoners exist in squalor without even the most basic of necessities.
