NCRI - According to reports, Zahedan city prison (South Eastern Province) with 2000 inmates and more than 350 convicts on death row is in a very poor and deteriorating condition. The status of nutritional and medical care is poor and inadequate in this penitentiary, and despite the lack of medical facilities inside the jail, transfer of the patients to hospitals outside the custodial is hardly carried out due to lack of cooperation by the prosecutor's office and prison guards.
