A country adrift squeezed between drug trafficking and corruption. This is Guiné-Bissau.I have chosen to examine the reality of this country through its prisons as these are a valid metaphor for describing this tiny nation. I visited the detention centres in this country and noted the violation of all the prisoners’ rights. Thirteen people packed into fourteen square metres. Without water, without food, sleeping, and excreting on the ground. They had no electricity, nowhere to wash. There was no health or legal assistance. The men were regularly beaten, the women often raped.
