A group wants the Justice Minister to help prisons. They say prison conditions are very bad. These conditions are not good for people. The group wants help right away. They want six months of special plans. This will help with too many people in prison. It will also help make prisons better.
The group's leader, Alexandros Clerides, wrote a letter. He also spoke on TV. He wants quick and big changes. These changes will make fewer people in prison. Mr. Clerides said any death in prison is bad. The group thinks no one should die in prison.
A plan is to use a Christmas pardon. They want this for all prisoners. It should make their sentences shorter. This will give prison leaders more room. They can then make a better plan for prisons.
The group also has other ideas. They want people to wear electronic monitors. This will make more space in prisons. They also want to send foreign prisoners home. This can help with too many people. The group thinks this is a big problem. It needs fast action.
