Prison guards force women prisoners to leave the prison to prostitute themselves. In exchange, the guards receive cash payments that vary from about 3,000 to 30,000 meticais for each inmate delivered to a client. The clients are generally well placed people in society who are seeking pleasure with women whom they believe have not had sexual relations for a long time. The inmates used in the prostitution network receive privileged treatment in the prison. Those who refuse to join the network are tortured, and most end up yielding. CIP investigated the scandal which has been going on for years and narrates how everything happens. The report includes videos and pictures of inmates and prison guards caught in scenes of sexual exploitation.
