	&nbsp;

	"The prisons are overcrowded, there is a lack of hygene metarials and personal protective equipments, the prisoners are not able to access the services of health. Therefore the prisoners face serious life-threatening risks. Many applications such as the protective materials are being sold to the prisons and being sold with overcharged prices as well as the disinfectation in the ward not being done properly and regulary, searching the prisoners without considering the social-distancing rules increase the life-threatening risks of both prisoners and guardians."
