1/ @HRCSriLanka report of national study of prisons. 2 years, 33 member deeply committed team. Was afraid it wouldn't see light of day. Glad HRCSL published it. Thanks to Dept of Prisons for honesty about challenges faced & for progressive recommendations https://www.hrcsl.lk/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Prison-Report-Final-2.pdf
2/Grateful to prisoners & officers who helped us understand structural & systemic dysfunctionality of penal system. Dedicate report to 100s of prisoners who trusted us & shared their stories hoping it will make a difference, if not in their own lives, at least in lives of others.
3/Came across many dedicated public servants like the officers of the Community Corrections Dept and some prison officers, just as much as we encountered bad conditions, complaints of discrimination, corruption, violence, fear and hopelessness.
