Prisoners crowded into one room at the National Penitentiary in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. Prisoners spoke out about overcrowding at Port-au-Prince National Penitentiary during an annual International Prisoners’ Day ceremony on Oct. 28, 2007. For the past 10 years, Mennonite Central Committee has supported Haiti’s prisoners through the National Network for the Defense of Human Rights, a Haitian organization that monitors the treatment of prisoners across the country.—MCC
