Location of inmates in cells 4 and 7, Mbuji-Mayi Central Prison, Democratic Republic of the Congo, February 2015. A) Cell 4 is 37 m², with 1 door (solid red line) and 2 windows (dashed red lines). B) Cell 7 is 37 m², with 1 door (solid red line) and 1 window (dashed red line). Red figures indicate TB patients. Both cells are in the designated area 2 and are extremely overcrowded, having >163 inmates in each. Each inmate was assigned a space of 0.22 m². Most (60%) TB patients were living in the rear of the cell, which was characterized by poor ventilation and lack of sunshine. This drawing shows the nearly exact localization of inmates during their stay inside the cell; more space is available at the entrance of the cell, which is occupied by the “chief” of the cell.
