PRISONERS’ FUTURE FOUNDATION URGES SADC HEADS OF STATES TO ABOLISH DEATH PENALTY The Prisoners’ Future Foundation (PFF) has called on Justice Ministers across Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) member states to abolish the death penalty, citing its ineffectiveness as a deterrent and the irreversible harm it causes. PFF Executive Director Geoffrey Mayamba emphasized that the death penalty does not serve as an effective punishment for capital crimes. Instead, he argued, it punishes the families of those sentenced to death and denies the possibility of rehabilitation or correction of judicial errors. “Ending someone’s life does not deter crime nor deliver true justice,” Mr. Mayamba stated. “It is a greater punishment to the relatives than to the individual themselves. Life imprisonment, on the other hand, allows room for reflection, rehabilitation, and redress in case of wrongful conviction. Numerous studies have shown that the death penalty does not reduce crime more effectively than life imprisonment—and once an execution is carried out, there’s no going back, even if new evidence emerges.” Mr. Mayamba expressed optimism that, with sustained efforts, Zambia and other SADC nations can bring their criminal justice systems into alignment with international human rights standards, especially concerning detention conditions, fair trial, and due process, despite ongoing challenges such as overcrowding. PFF is an active member of the World Coalition Against the Death Penalty (WCADP), a global alliance of more than 170 organizations—including NGOs, bar associations, trade unions, and local authorities—formed in 2002 to promote the universal abolition of capital punishment. Mr. Mayamba highlighted that achieving WCADP’s mission requires decisive steps from member countries, including ending death sentences and halting executions altogether. He also expressed concern that, in some nations, the initial strategy has had to be a gradual reduction in death penalty use, rather than full abolition, as a first step.
PRISONERS’ FUTURE FOUNDATION CALLS FOR ALTERNATIVES TO CUSTODIAL SENTENCES AMID SEVERE OVERCROWDING IN CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES The Prisoners’ Future Foundation (PFF) has raised concern over the growing overcrowding crisis in Zambia’s correctional facilities, attributing it in large part to the over-reliance on custodial sentences. PFF Executive Director Geoffrey Mayamba highlighted that Zambia's correctional system is currently housing over 28,000 inmates—nearly triple its official holding capacity of 10,650. He warned that such overcrowding severely compromises health, safety, and human dignity. “With the prevalence of Tuberculosis at approximately 11%, overcrowded cells become breeding grounds for infection, placing both inmates and the national health system at serious risk,” Mr. Mayamba said. “The situation is further worsened by the high HIV prevalence in correctional facilities, which is estimated to be 30% higher than the national adult rate. This calls for urgent, coordinated action to protect inmate health and uphold basic human rights.” Mr. Mayamba also pointed to the troubling number of pre-trial detainees of over 5,000 individuals held for extended periods before their cases are heard—many of whom may eventually be acquitted. “It is alarming that people are contracting life-threatening illnesses while still awaiting trial, in some cases for charges they may not even be convicted of,” he stated. He emphasized that addressing overcrowding requires a national, multi-sectoral response. “Every Zambian citizen has a role to play—by advocating for reform, holding the justice system accountable, and embracing alternative sentencing models. If citizens make better choices and the justice system employs non-custodial measures more often, we can significantly ease the pressure on correctional facilities.” According to PFF, the current state of Zambia’s prisons—operating at over 250% capacity—either reflects a lack of sentencing options beyond imprisonment or signals rising crime rates. Regardless, the consequences are dire: poor nutrition, inadequate healthcare, and systemic violations of basic rights. Mr. Mayamba called for urgent reforms and collective action from all stakeholders, including civil society, government institutions, and the general public, to create a more humane and sustainable correctional system Issued by: Prisoners’ Future Foundation Communications Office Office: 760818007

Prisoners’ Future Foundation (PFF) urges Zambia to commute the sentences of 10 death row inmates to life imprisonment. “This is a moment of moral clarity,” said Executive Director Geoffrey Mayamba. Zambia has abolished the death penalty—now let’s ensure that justice reflects compassion, dignity, and redemption. Supported by the EU through FFPA, PFF continues to amplify Zambia’s voice in global abolitionist efforts. Mr. Myamba was speaking during a Capacity building of Ten (10) local Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) and other like mind institutions on how to engage with international human rights mechanisms and regional mechanisms like UNGA, ACHPR, Africa Union and Southern Africa Development Community. “This activity is part of the Global Consortium for Death Penalty Abolition, a civil society-led initiative aiming to amplify the voice and influence of the abolitionist movement on a global scale with the support of the European Union under a Financial Framework Partnership Agreement (FFPA) ”. #Zambia #HumanRightsViolations #humanrights #JusticeReform #AbolitionNow #restorativejustice Communications Office Prisoners' Future Foundation +260 760818007

Zambia has made historic strides in abolishing the death penalty, positioning itself as a regional leader in human rights reform. Lets look at Zambia's current position: Legal Status: Zambia has Fully Abolished the Death Penalty This followed the Penal Code (Amendment) Bill No. 25, signed into law by Mr. Hakainde Hichilema President of the Republic of Zambia in 2022, which removed capital punishment from Zambia’s legal framework for ordinary crimes. In December 2024, Zambia formally acceded to the Second Optional Protocol to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) — a UN treaty that commits signatories to abolishing the death penalty for all crimes. The Protocol officially entered into force for Zambia on March 19, 2025, marking irreversible abolition under international law.

Management and staff of the Prisoners’ Future Foundation (PFF), in collaboration with the Council of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Central Province, made formal submissions to the Technical Committee on Constitutional Reforms at the Provincial Administration Hall this week. The submissions were presented as part of the ongoing nationwide consultations on the Constitutional Reforms process under Bill 7. Representing a broad coalition of civil society voices, PFF and the Council of NGOs emphasized the importance of inclusive governance, protection of human rights, and the need for reforms that reflect the aspirations of all Zambians—including marginalized and vulnerable populations. Their proposals focused on justice sector reforms, civic participation, and strengthening institutional accountability. The Technical Committee, mandated to gather public input across all provinces, continues to engage stakeholders from various sectors to ensure the reform process is transparent, participatory, and representative. PFF Executive Director Mr. Geoffrey Mayamba commended the government for opening space for dialogue and reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to advocating for a just and equitable constitutional framework. “This is a pivotal moment for Zambia. We must ensure that the voices of those often left behind especially incarcerated individuals and their families are heard and considered in shaping our nation’s future,” Mr. Mayamba said. The Council of NGOs echoed this sentiment, calling for reforms that uphold democratic principles and foster sustainable development. @followers World Coalition Against the Death Penalty Absa Bank Zambia Ambassade de France en Zambie / French Embassy in Zambia GIZ Zambia Water and Energy Cluster
Tomorrow, Friday October 31, 2025 we mark a powerful moment of transformation at Mumbwa Correctional Centre, where forty-eight inmates will graduate from the Skills Training Empowerment Project for Inmates (STEP-IN) vocational training programme a life-changing initiative led by the Prisoners’ Future Foundation in partnership with Tools for Self-Reliance. This isn’t just about training—it’s about restoring dignity, purpose, and opportunity. These graduates now carry practical skills that will help them reintegrate into society and contribute meaningfully to their communities. STEP-IN is a shining example of what happens when government, civil society, international partners, and the Correctional Service work together. It’s a model for sustainable rehabilitation and inclusive development. The Government of the Republic of Zambia continues to invest in human capital, even within correctional facilities because reducing reoffending starts with empowering people. Tools for Self-Reliance has shown us that international solidarity can change lives. Their support has built bridges across borders and brought hope to those who need it most. To our graduates: you are living proof that change is possible. You’ve shown resilience, discipline, and determination. Your journey doesn’t end here it begins anew. This celebration is not just about certificates, it’s about second chances. It’s a reminder that rehabilitation is a shared responsibility, and that every citizen deserves the opportunity to rebuild.
