The world is facing a dreadful outbreak of a novel disease, COVID-19, that has claimed the lives of thousands. African countries have recorded the least number of COVID-19 cases despite their weak healthcare systems. However, African prisons could be an hotspot for the spread of the virus. In this article, we focused on describing certain possibilities of an uncontrollable outbreak of this pandemic in African prisons considering the overcrowding, poor access to healthcare among inmates, and already existing abuse of human rights. We hypothesized that negligence to prison health in Africa during this pandemic could lead to devastating events. It is therefore important that inmates are not forgotten in COVID-19 responses.
世界正面临一种新型疾病——新冠病毒肺炎（COVID-19）的可怕爆发，已有数千人丧生。尽管非洲国家的医疗体系薄弱，但记录在案的新冠病毒肺炎病例数却是最少的。然而，非洲的监狱可能会成为病毒传播的热点地区。在本文中，考虑到监狱过度拥挤、囚犯难以获得医疗保健以及现有的人权侵犯问题，我们着重描述了这种大流行病在非洲监狱可能出现无法控制的爆发的某些可能性。我们假设，在这场大流行病期间，非洲对监狱卫生的疏忽可能会导致灾难性事件。因此，在应对新冠病毒肺炎疫情时，囚犯不应被遗忘，这一点很重要。
