Justice Ministry considering ways to improve conditions in Czech jailhouses

The Justice Ministry is considering ways to improve conditions in Czech jailhouses. The move comes in the wake of a stream of complaints from MP David Rath, who has been in detention on corruption charges since last May and who drafted several bills in his cell including one which would improve conditions in Czech prisons. Although his draft proposal was rejected by the cabinet, Justice Minister Pavel Blažek told Czech public television that some suggestions were worth following up, for instance better conditions for hygiene and the possibility to spend more time outdoors.
