Conjugal visits for convicted prisoners, as well as mandatory testing for HIV and AIDS, are privileges to be afforded under the new Prisons Rules, which are to be tabled in Parliament shortly....The new rules establish requirements of clothing, food and sleeping accommodation that conform, where possible, to United Nations and international standards, rules also make provision for adequate medical services that will cater to prisoners with special needs and conditions..prisoners will communicate with their family, friends and attorneys, including the use of telephone and video visits, as well as conjugal and private family visits who meet eligibility criteria...also provision of prenatal and post-natal care to all pregnant prisoners and the rules would set out the manner in which work, earnings, education and vocation programmes are to be provided for the prisoners.....New prison rules, conjugal visits allowed...WAT SAYS U..?
