1. Article 2, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to supply detailed information on the system of prison work, and in particular on the organization of this work, on work centres, on the number of prisoners involved, on the conditions under which they work, the destiny of the products which they make and the services that they perform.

The Committee notes the information contained in the report on the system of prison work of the General Directorate of Prisons, which was supplied by the Government. According to this information, work in prisons is fairly low; 180 detainees are covered by the system of prison work out of a prison population of 9,033.

The Committee requests the Government to state whether the work performed by detainees is supplied by the State (section 58 of Act No. 244 respecting prison rules) or by private individuals or enterprises, as permitted by section 65 of the same Act.

2. Freedom of workers in the service of the State to terminate their employment. With reference to the voluntary retirement of career military personnel, the Committee requests the Government to supply copies of the provisions governing the criteria for the acceptance of retirement applications from members of the armed forces, which are envisaged under section 205 of Organic Act No. 873.

3. The Committee notes Act No. 14-91 respecting civil service and administrative careers.
