The Committee has noted the Government’s reply to its earlier comments and, in particular, the Government’s indications concerning the work of prisoners.

Articles 1, paragraph 1, and 2, paragraphs 1 and 2(c), of the Convention. The Committee previously noted the Government’s indication that the prison legislation was to be revised. The Government indicates in its latest report received in December 2001 that it is still in the process of reviewing its present legislation and expresses the hope to bring it into greater conformity with the Convention.

The Committee notes this information and hopes that, when the prison legislation is amended, statutory effect will be given to the principle that prison labour may not be hired to or placed at the disposal of private individuals, companies or associations.

It requests the Government to supply a copy of the revised legislation as soon as it is adopted.
