With regard to integrity of person, Tanzania has a number of procedurall_aws that ensures that no one's integrity is invaded without a just cause. These procedures are mainly included in the Criminal Procedure Acts of Tanzania Mainland and that of Zanzibar. For example, Sections 13, 14, 16 and 23 of Criminal Procedure Act ofTanzania and Criminal Procedure Act of Zanzibar respectively prohibits arrest without reasonable cause while sections 24 and 41 of CPA (T) and CPA. (Z) .respectively prohibit search without reasonable grounds. With regard to respect for dignity and recognition of legal status of a person, Tanzania prohibits all forms of exploitation and degradation of a person particularly slavery, slave trade, torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment and treatment. This is in principle done through the Constitution vide Article 12(6) and 13(6)e respectively. The CPA (T) and CPA (Z) also prohibit torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment and treatment in sections 55(1) and (2) respectively. Although, due to constraints emanating from the ability of the government, the Union Government has taken measures to address problems of congestions in prisons _s_uch as overcrowding and poor sanitary conditions. This is being done through decongestion measures such as enactment and use of non custodial sentences including parole (under the Parole Boards Act) and Community service (under the Community Service Act). Prisoners are also being supplied with essential clothing and beddings in accordance with the provisions of the Prisons Act which are in line with the Minimum Standards for the Treatment of Prisoners 1956. Prisons and other custody facilities are also being inspected regularly by among other institutions, the Conunission for Human Rights and Good Governance.
