“Inmates in South Sudan are suffering, and there are attempts by lawyers to provide some assistance. Here in the prison, there are many who are due to small amounts of fines,” Bol said. 

He further said that many prisoners facing jail time have never been tried and legal aid should be accorded to them. 

“You may find people who stay in prison for a period of four years more than the penalty prescribed for the crime This is due to the absence of states in allocating or making use of the legal aid privileges approved by Parliament.”- Bol said.
