There are more than one million prisoners across the African continent allegedly living under inhumane, cruel and degrading conditions.

Various African law and justice leaders and human rights organisations across the continent believe that it is time to rethink crimes, law and incarceration on the continent.

Various African leaders across the continent say that it is time to rethink criminal law and incarceration. Deputy Minister of Justice John Jeffrey says the criminal justice system favours the rich and this is evident if one looks at which people are in prisons, the poor. Jeffrey says we are not all equal before the law.

The Deputy Minister of Justice also says when it comes to criminal law and justice, the battle is not only between the rich and poor, but also race, gender, ethnicity and more. Jeffrey says we need to decriminalize the cycle of poverty. He says here in South Africa we are still repeating the old apartheid legislation and that is not progress.
