A look inside Gambia’s infamous Mile 2 prison


The Gambia’s new president will formally be sworn in on Saturday which is also the country’s independence day.

Hundreds of prisoners hope the day will also bring their release.

Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports from inside one of the prisons in Banjul.

  1. crazy how those officials are straight up lying to the camera.. i know many gambians who have spent time in mile 2 for the most pettit crimes and the treatment in there is horrendous, they definitely cleaned it up for this media visit

  2. Billionaires with more money than sense can make a difference to places on earth like this and they wouldnt even notice a change in the bank balance lets start pointing the finger at the small percent of people in the world who can make a difference and just arent doing

  3. If Africa and all these other places even America continues to go by this patriarchy y'all are going to see everything burn and be destroyed there'll be nothing left but void. Men should not be in charge of anything. The guards are raping the women in the prisons same thing goes on in America ain't nothing different

  4. I hear black in Ukraine are been treated some hope and black people complaining about it all over the world why do u should up when is your own doing u or black doing black is okay

  5. It's a shame on those lame "leaders" they are useless and men who says Yes to everything (YES man's) this is why Gambia is falling. Yaya Jammeh was an uneducated idiot WE ALL KNOW THAT.

  6. Africa is freaking done for. Idk what’s the solution. Sometimes I be wanting outsiders to come in me take charge cause it’s shown that the government cannot govern in a moral way. We cannot find good moral people to govern out people. Everything is about personal gain. I’m so glad my parents immigrated to America otherwise idk how I would tolerate such corrupt government. Americans government is corrupt but the governments in Africa put America’s government to shame.

  7. im convinced that Gambia like to have prisons that are in bad conditions as Islam dont like criminals so there is no rush to to make the place beter. I can understand. Prison is not a hotel but there are better way to make good people out of criminals. All prisons should be factories with a educational aspect to it. Train them then make them work. FEAR does not reform prisoners. I should know, i have done time. It was a waste, i did nothing. As a man i want to learn and do as much as i can. I want to help Gambian prisoners.
