Desperate overcrowding, rats, disease - welcome to Antanimora Prison in Madagascar. A prison in the middle of the capital Antananarivo and bursting at the seams. Originally built for 800 prisoners, the complex houses more than 3,000 prisoners. They sleep crammed together, body against body, some on the bare floor. In the cells: darkness, cockroaches, lice and the unbearable odor of latrines. One meal per day consisting of a bowl of cassava. No meat, no fruit - everything a tasteless mush. Malnutrition is said to be one of the main causes of death in Antanimora.
