 : 15.	Le SPT constate qu’en dépit de quelques mesures , la torture et les mauvais traitements demeurent répandus, favorisés principalement par un certain nombre de problèmes structurels et systémiques préoccupants, liés:

 Similar reports are available for some of the poorer countries in Latin America. Here is an example for a country ranked
 :55.	Overcrowding remains a cause of concern. Tacumbú has capacity for approximately 1,200 inmates but houses far more than double that number. The Subcommittee is aware that the Government has made an effort to increase the number of beds in Tacumbú Prison, but would point out that those efforts will not be sufficient, since the prison structure is inadequate. ... The Subcommittee is of the view that Tacumbú National Prison should be closed as soon as possible and requests confirmation from the State party of the above-mentioned announcement, together with information on the timetable for its closure...

-.	Although prison authorities report having removed corrupt prison staff from their posts, inmates and other credible sources have told the Subcommittee, in great detail, how corruption continues to affect each and every area of prison life. “Fees” continue to be charged for the different services (such as access to a doctor, to a given block or wing, etc.), with some modifications. “If anything has changed”, some inmates said, “it is that now you have to pay more for certain things.” Whereas, slightly over a year ago, inmates had to pay the guards 5,000 guaraníes in order to be allowed to carry a knife, the sum had risen to 50,000 guaraníes by September 2010. The Subcommittee has also been informed of other illegal fees now being charged by the guards (e.g., a fee of 2,000 guaraníes for allowing an inmate’s visitor to sit on a chair or to return a mobile phone to a visitor who was required to leave the phone at the prison entry hall)...

-.	The Subcommittee is extremely concerned by information received from credible sources which indicates that corruption is not confined to a given prison or operational level. On the contrary, it seems to exist in almost all of the country’s prisons and to be very well coordinated and organized. The Subcommittee has repeatedly been apprised of consistent allegations that certain political circles are profiting from this nationwide form of organized corruption.

+Similar reports can be obtained also for some European countries. Here is an example for a country ranked 61 by Pasquali:
-One example of a poor country's prison system is Romania. In this country, prison conditions have probably always been dire - with sporadic attempts at reform being drowned in political turmoil, regime changes, economic crises, and the syndrome of general neglect so characteristic of most societies' low priority for this unpopular appendix of the criminal justice administration.
-Whoever dared to look at it found a shocking picture (Cartner 1992). What can be found in Romania is a syndrome of overcrowding, lack of medical attention, and general neglect of prisoners' rights. In 2010, e.g., the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) criticized Romania for forcing an inmate suffering from hepatitis and high blood pressure to share a cell designed to hold 35 prisoners with another 120 inmates. In a similar case, a prisoner who was suffering suffering from a lung condition was forced to share his cell with two cigarette smoking co-prisoners.
 The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT 2015) stated in a report that "numerous credible allegations consistent with physical ill-treatment (punches, including with reinforced gloves, kicks with the knee and feet and blows with a truncheon) were received by the delegation. They were mainly inflicted on prisoners under a maximum security regime (“RMS”) and in the closed regime units of Arad and Oradea prisons by members of the intervention group (wearing balaclavas or masks). Medical evidence compatible with the allegations made was found in a certain number of prisoners' medical files in these two establishments. As regards material conditions in prisons, the report notes an overall high-level of overcrowding, with barely 2m² of living space per person in Târgşor Women’s Prison; these conditions were further aggravated by the fact that prisoners generally spent 20 to 22 hours a day in their cells."
