Benin
This report, produced by the Institute for Security Studies through the African Human Security Initiative (AHSI), provides a comprehensive evaluation of the criminal justice system in Benin. It is divided into three thematic studies: the conditions of prisons, the administration of juvenile justice, and the role and function of customary law. The report highlights systemic failures including severe prison overcrowding, a high prevalence of pretrial detention, and a disconnect between formal legal frameworks and the lived realities of rural populations who rely on traditional authorities.
