INL Port-au-Prince’s efforts in Haiti are focused on supporting the Haitian National Police’s (HNP’s) development as a professional and accountable institution, including the HNP’s Prisons Administrative Directorate (DAP.) There are a total of 18 prisons in Haiti with a total
prison population of over 11,000.
The overarching goal of this project is to augment DAP’s capacity to address the health, sanitation, and nutritional needs of Haiti’s prison population.
In order to advance these goals, INL Haiti seeks to provide technical assistance, training, and critical equipment to support DAP’s efforts to meet the Haiti prison population’s needs.
