Abstract
This project seeks to confirm and quantify the socio-economic impact of pre-trial detention on detainees, their families and associated households in the main urban centres of Kenya, Mozambique and Zambia. The aim is to provide empirical evidence of who is detained;
the households affected by that detention; and the nature and extent of the impact of that detention. It is intended that the evidence will inform states, donors, and development agencies, of the ways in which, and the extent to which, pre-trial detention practices have a social and economic impact, particularly on the poor and marginalised.
