Title: Torture and Impunity in Jordan's Prisons: Reforms Fail to Tackle Widespread Abuse
Summary: Torture remained widespread and routine in Jordan's prisons at the time of Human Rights Watch's research in 2007. Updates to the investigation in 2008 reveal that problems of torture and accountability persist. This report in based on visits to seven out of ten of Jordan's prisons in August and October 2007, and in April 2008. It found that prison conditions remain poor, especially health, food, and visitation provisions, despite an ambitious but ill-considered reform program excessively focused on building new prisons.
