Antanimora Prison, also known as Central Prison of Antanimora, officially Maison Centrale Antanimora â Antanarivo, is a prison in Antanimora, Antananarivo, the capital of Madagascar. Antanimora was built to hold a maximum of 800 inmates. In 2019, it was reported that more than 4,000 detainees were being held there, with around half of them still awaiting trial. Its extreme lack of hygiene and accompanying infestation of lice, cockroaches, fleas, and rats have been criticized by international organisations. Some judges have been reported to solicit bribes from prisoners or their families in order to guarantee an acquittal or early release.
