Prison inmates from Custóias present petition against food conditions

RTP Notícias13 September 2026 at 16:40

Over 150 inmates from the Porto Prison Establishment, located in Custóias, presented a petition against the conditions of the food served in the prison. The mobilization of the prisoners comes as a form of protest against what they consider to be inadequate meals or meals served in unsatisfactory conditions. The petition represents a collective action by the inmates to draw the attention of the authorities to this issue. The document was submitted as a form of pressure for improvements to be implemented in the food provided to the prisoners.

Why this matters

The inmates are using peaceful means to demand better living conditions within the prison establishment. This petition may lead the administration to review the quality of the food served to prisoners, potentially affecting the conditions of all inmates in the institution.
