A barbaric prison in Africa is hell on Earth with people able to smell the stench of rotting flesh from dead corpses inside its walls as far as a mile away.Inmates of the Rwanda prison Gitarama, one of the world’s deadliest, are forced to eat the rotting corpses of other inmates in order to survive.

There are even reportedly some fears a few of these people are completely innocent. The site is on the outskirts of Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, and was built in 1960 as accommodation for British workers who were in the country.

With a capacity for only 400 inmates, the prison finds itself burdened with an astonishing 7,000 detainees, highlighting a huge lack of space that defines the institution’s biggest challenge.

Gitarama is a grave for many of those who are confined within its high, ochre brick walls.

Prisoners endure unimaginable conditions, forced to make the agonizing choice between standing upright for hours on end or gathering in packed quarters whenever possible. This overcrowding reached its peak in the 1990s, resulting in a humanitarian crisis within the prison walls.

The consequences of such overcrowding are heartbreaking. Many prisoners have succumbed to diseases and suffocation due to the unbearable living conditions. Some have been forced to stand on filthy, unhygienic floors for extended periods, pushing them to have their toes, legs, or feet chopped.

Except for a hospital building for prisoners suffering from dysentery, Gitarama lacks proper medical facilities. The hospital has a capacity of only 25 cases and there are several patients to each befouled mattress.
