Mr. Maltby, you said that about half the prison population escapes. When we were in Haiti as part of the mission organized by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, some NGOs on site told us that, in Haiti, arbitrariness was completely prevalent in imprisonment cases and a good number of prisoners are forgotten in prison. Even if they have already served their sentence, they remain in prison because their file is missing or because the government is not interested in releasing them for whatever reason.
There were riots and fires in the earthquake's aftermath, and files disappeared. Were you sure that the people you were arresting were supposed to be in prison? What did you base your arrests on?
