Across many countries in Africa, thousands of young people are imprisoned without access to proper nutrition, education or healthcare, and once released, there is often little, if any, support to help them reform and reintegrate. Aid groups are making headway to improve one child prison in Senegal, though the problems faced by administrators have not gone away.
