Optimising space a priority at Kajang Prison

WITH Kajang Prison now housing 5,000 inmates, maximising space is ranked high on its director Alzafry Mohamed Alnassif Mohamed Adahan’s agenda. The prison was made for 2,500 inmates. 

There are 15 inmates to each cell, measuring 18.6 sq m (about the size of one-third of a badminton court), and they sleep on the floor on thin mattresses in an arrangement whereby one’s head is upon another’s feet.
