15 267 détenus dans les prisons (Ousmane Diagne)
Justice Minister Ousmane Diagne revealed Tuesday during a plenary session at the National Assembly that the Senegalese prison population stood at 15,267 inmates as of August 18, 2025. Responding to MP Saliou Dione, he acknowledged long pretrial detentions as a major challenge, with 547 cases exceeding three years, or 3.58% of the total number. The minister indicated that measures, such as a six-month limit for correctional detentions, are underway, with a current average of one year of detention. This issue, addressed at the Justice Conference in May 2024, remains a priority to address.
