As at July 2016, it is the only maximum security prison in the country and houses Uganda's death row inmates.[2][3] LocationThe prison is in the Luzira neighborhood in Nakawa Division in southeastern Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city.[4] The prison is approximately {{convert|10|km|0}} south-east of the city's central business district.[5] The coordinates of the prison are 0°17'59.0"N, 32°38'26.0"E (Latitude:0.299735; Longitude:32.640556).[6] OverviewThe prison houses both convicted and sentenced inmates, as well as suspects awaiting trial. It has a men's section and a women's section. It also houses the country death row amounting to about 500 men and women. A welfare project was carried out by installing windows, lighting, plumbing, furniture, mattresses and linen, as part of the African Prisons Project. The prison has a library of over 7,000 books from the UK.[7] Prison managementIn Luzira, inmates are assigned more responsibility that would be in similar prisons in the United Kingdom or the USA. Inmates assume responsibility for maintenance of harmony and functionality of the units where they live, including the growing and harvesting of food, its preparation and its distribution within the prison. Learning is encouraged, with many men learning and teaching carpentry skills to others. The guard to prisoner ration in Luzira is about 1:35, compared to 1:15 in the UK. Aggression among inmates is the exception and not the rule. The recidivism rate in Luzira is less than 30 percent, compared with 46 percent in the UK and 76 percent in the United States.[8] CapacityThe prison was designed with capacity of 1,700 inmates, but often houses close to 8,000.[9] On 27 August 2014, the day of the 2014 national population census, the prison housed 6,336 people; 3, 373 were in the Luzira Upper Prison, 1,495 were in Murchison Bay Prison, and Kampala Remand Prison had 1, 040 inmates. The Luzira Women’s Prison had 400 inmates and 28 children.[10] The government of Uganda has plans to relocate the prison and expand it to capacity of 10,000.[9] As of June 2017, the facility housed more than 8,500 inmates.[1] References1. ^1 {{cite web|accessdate=20 June 2017 |url=http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Uganda-Prisons--transfers--inmates-congestion/688334-3979238-povekiz/index.html| date=20 June 2017 |title=Uganda Prisons transfers inmates over congestion |location=Kampala| author=News Agencies |newspaper=Daily Monitor}} 2. ^{{cite web| title=When Luzira Maximum Security Prison is home| accessdate=6 July 2016 | url=http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/HomesandProperty/When-Luziira-Maximum-Security-Prison-is-home/-/689858/1872052/-/fvy2np/-/index.html | date=5 June 2013 | first=Freddie |last=Kakembo |location=Kampala| newspaper=Daily Monitor}} 3. ^{{cite web|first=David| date=28 May 2015| url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/28/the-prison-where-murderers-play-for-manchester-united |title=The prison where murderers play for Manchester United |accessdate=6 July 2016 | last=Goldblatt |newspaper=The Guardian | location=London}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.newvision.co.ug/new_vision/news/1419030/hood-luzira | title=Luzira is not just a prison; it's an amazing neighbourhood | accessdate=6 July 2016 | date= 8 March 2016 | author=Kyle Duncan Kushaba | newspaper=New Vision | location=Kampala}} 5. ^{{cite web | accessdate=6 July 2016 | date=6 July 2016 | url=http://distancecalculator.globefeed.com/Uganda_Distance_Result.asp?fromplace=Post%20Office%20Building%2C%20Kampala%20Road%2C%20Kampala%2C%20Central%20Region%2C%20Uganda&toplace=Luzira%20Prison%2C%20Kampala%2C%20Central%20Region%2C%20Uganda%2C&dt1=ChIJXyfX9IC8fRcRorrkbY-nufI&dt2=ChIJY_xlXr2-fRcRpdzf6M3poJA|publisher=Globefeed.com | author=Globefeed.com | title=Distance between Post Office Building, Kampala Road, Kampala, Central Region, Uganda and Luzira Prison, Kampala, Central Region, Uganda}} 6. ^{{google maps | url=https://www.google.com/maps/place/0%C2%B017'59.0%22N+32%C2%B038'26.0%22E/@0.3002973,32.6794919,20908m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d0.299735!4d32.640556 | title=Location of Luzira Maximum Security Prison, Luzira, Kampala, Uganda | accessdate=6 July 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|date=15 April 2015| url=http://www.theafricangourmet.com/2015/04/uganda-luzira-maximum-security-prison.html |title=Waiting for Justice in Uganda's Luzira Maximum Security Prison |accessdate=6 July 2016 |publisher=The African Gourmet (TAG)|last=TAG}} 8. ^{{cite web|accessdate=6 July 2016|date=23 October 2015 |url=https://www.vice.com/read/rehabilitation-spies-and-goals-607|title=Rehabilitation, Spies, and Goals at Uganda's Lone Maximum Security Prison|first=Ben |last=Ferguson |publisher=Vice.com |location=London}} 9. ^1 {{cite web| title=Government revives plans to shift Luzira prison | accessdate=20 October 2016| date=25 April 2016 | url=http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Govt-revives-plans-to-shift-Luzira-prison/688334-3174532-wyipc8/index.html| newspaper=Daily Monitor | first=Andrew | last=Bagala | location=Kampala}} 10. ^{{cite web| accessdate=23 October 2016 | newspaper=New Vision | location=Kampala | first=Petride | url=http://www.newvision.co.ug/new_vision/news/1308570/prisoners-register-national-census | last=Mudoola | date= 2 September 2014 |title=Prisoners register for the national census}} External links
