Prison and Mental Health

Project carried out in Togo (civil prisons in Lomé, Kara and Dapaong)

Handicap International operates a project in Togo to improve the status of prisoners, both in prison and when they return to their families. They highlight the negative impact of incarceration on prisoners’ mental health in order to put forward solutions to encourage greater consideration, protect and re-integrate people in the society.
