Pope Leo XIV made an unambiguous statement about the state of Equatorial Guinea’s prison system, speaking directly to 600 inmates at the Bata prison during the tenth day of his African tour. The 70-year-old U.S.-born pontiff addressed detainees, including around 30 women, many of them young men with shaved heads standing outside in the rain to hear him speak. As detailed by Al Jazeera, the pope’s message was direct: incarceration should serve rehabilitation, not punishment alone.
