4.1.1 At the time of the visit, the Medium A centre housed 3 523 male inmates comprising 116 sentenced, 2 855 unsentenced, and 552 unsentenced juvenile offenders. The centre was 149% overcrowded. An improved working relationship with magistrates has resulted in much progress having been made in reducing the number of remand detainees, but much still needed to be done to address the backlog. Backlog courts have been established, and it is hoped that progress will be evident soon.
