Article 2(2)(c) of the Convention. Prison labour. For a number of years, the Committee has been referring to Prison Regulations No. 1 of 1955 issued under the Prison Act of 1953, which provided that prisoners might carry out work for an officer or members of the army by authorization of the Minister of Defence (section 8(e)). The Committee notes with satisfaction that the Government confirms that all prison regulations issued under the Prison Act No. 23 of 1953, which has been repealed by Act No. 9 of 2004 on Reformatory and Rehabilitation Centres, have become null and void.
