The Committee previously noted that, pursuant to sections 8(c), 21(a) and 32(c) of Act No. 9 of 2004 on reformatory and rehabilitation centres, prisoners have no obligation to work, if they are not sentenced to hard labour and if the work is not carried out for training purposes in accordance with the programmes adopted by the High Rehabilitation Committee. The Committee also noted the Government’s repeated indication in its reports that prisoners in reformatory and rehabilitation centres perform work of their choice upon request submitted to the authorities. The Committee notes once again the Government’s indication in its report that no regulations have been promulgated by virtue of section 42 of Act No. 9 of 2004 referred to above.
