NCRI, 28 May 2011 – Speaker of regime parliament’s legal and judicial commission said: “The number of prisoners has so sharply risen that it has created many difficulties for the Organization of Prisons and the Judiciary. In fact, keeping so many prisoners has become a hard task.
In regards to the increase in number of prisoners, I must say that during the last 30 years, population of the country has doubled, but the prisons have remained the same as 30 or 40years ago…
 In reality, we transferred the prisoners to other prisons which resulted in doubling those prisons’ occupants, and currently, there is not enough space in those prisons to drop a needle to the floor without being obstructed,” government-run Khabar-Online reported on Thursday.
Meanwhile, mullah Ejeyee, regime’s chief prosecutor, admitted congestion in the prisons and said: “I say with frankness that we have congestion in some prisons. Of course, prison is different than one’s own house,” state-run Mehr News Agency said on May 25.
