Maat issued an important report on
the "legalization of legal sex in light of reform policies in Egyptian prisons."

The report discusses the legal framework of prisoners and detainees in legal sex and what extend of application compatibility with modern penal philosophy, and the position of Islamic law and the position of the Ministry of the Interior on jurisprudence application and the actual implementation within the Egyptian prisons and the extent of commitment by management of prisons.

Ayman Okail, the Director of Maat Center said "It is important to start the care of his family since entering the penal institution, to begin a gradual reform to correct behavior in order to return to productive citizen within society through the preparation and adjustment factors, psychological and social function, and the right not to neglect his wife in legal sex, and added: What is surprising is the contradiction position of the internal ministry of legal sex, and effectively allowing the application in prisons and detention centers are selective in the form of a grant to the detainees, especially the Islamists, and the organization of prison administration of this grant in collaboration with State Security. "

The report concluded to the social direct consequences of not activating the legitimate right of legal sex in Egyptian prisons, notably higher rates of divorce for wives because of the absence of the husband, increased rates of delinquency wives, a growing look of suspicion and doubt the source of pregnancy of the wives of prisoners because of there isn’t a legalization and recognition of the right of legal sex by the government, Increasing fragmentation of the children of prisoners and social disintegration of families, and health and mental diseases and psychological Frustration, depression .addiction and sexually diseases transmitted on the dusty aberrant practices and homosexuality, the prevalence of psychological crises.

One of the of security consequences are prevalence of mass and individual escape from prison, the growing stream of support for the implementation and regulation of the legitimate right to practice sex with the wives of prisoners in Egyptian jails, especially since the Mufti had opined that the legitimacy of this right is supported by the Egyptian parliament and human rights associations, and leave it to decisions of management that caused the abuse situation of Egyptian prisons.

The report recommended activating the role of Social worker and psychologist at the prison and provide one doctor for every 20 prisoners or detainees and to provide periodic reports on their health, psychological and social indicators to be measured by the actual feasibility of the establishment and codification of the legitimate right of legal sex , and the implementation of the interior minister's decision to provide a bed for each prisoner, detainee and the reduction of High intensity in prisons, and the implementation of the family day and providing housing units attached to prisons and within simulator for the Saudi model, so that these units are safe take into account the specificity of prisoners with their families and their wives.
The report recommended the codification of the right of legitimate sex law to achieve justice and equality among the various spectrum of prisoners, every prisoner get this right who imprisoned more than a year , to obscure the prisoners, male and female for reasons of morality as prostitution, homosexuality, and that the law gives the right to legitimate sex for the prisoners and leaving them Whether claim or not claim, the establishment of an independent health units from the hospitals on the disclosure prison inmate and his wife to make sure free of the disease, , and correcting the perception of inferiority that may hold the prisoner in jail and activate the judicial supervision and control on Prisons and the transfer of subordination of the Ministry of the Interior to the Ministry of Justice.

The report indicates that the government was to lay down the outlines of a draft law of “legal seclusion” that would allow the prisoner to exercise his marital rights inside the prison with his wife, before referring him to the Shura Council, and the government had set some controls for this project and imitated some of the legislations in which Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Kuwait operate. And Qatar, which allows the prisoner to exercise his legal right with his wife in prison, tries to approve it, provided that the prisoner is allowed to meet in law 3 times a month, but the law was delayed due to the controversial storms that it sparked, and the discussions of the Suggestions and Complaints Committee of the People's Assembly in 2004 on the amendment of the Prisons Organization Law, which was suspended It was put in place 50 years ago, after the idea of allowing the prisoner to wear civilian clothes when meeting with his family and friends and his right to spend a day and a night with his family every two months in his home. And other amendments, the reason was the security services' objection to the difficulty of providing rooms or hotels inside the prison and the disagreement over the legality of this right.

The Ministry also believes that this right has not been resolved from the legal and legislative aspects due to the permanent and continuous criticism raised by that seclusion according to its opinion, and the prison sector is considered an implementer only for the law that does not approve the legal seclusion, thus leaving the matter unresolved to keep the wife’s right to divorce or divorce. Divorce as a result of the harm suffered by her from the imprisonment of her husband, and the Ministry claimed that responding to the request for legal seclusion would empty the freedom-depriving punishment from its content and essence, which depends on pain and deprivation, and insisted on the difficulty of responding to this demand in the case of polygamy for a single prisoner, and the response of a former security official was “if The Mufti wanted the humane treatment of the prisoner, so where was the humanity of the prisoner on the day he was killed, robbed, burned, displaced and perished in plowing and offspring ... These principles far exceed their idealism of the unimaginable atrocities and the incidents of torture inside the prisons of the United States of America itself.

The report confirms that what raises the contradiction in the position of the Ministry of Interior is its actual permission for the application of legal seclusion inside prisons and detention centers in a selective and optional manner for the director of the Prisons Authority and those in charge of the prison administration, and in the form of a grant presented to Islamist detainees in particular, and King Farouk had allowed Hussain Sarri Pasha to legally seclude his wife. And Minister Mamdouh Salem issued the era of the late President Sadat a decision to allow legal seclusion and granting leave to 280 prisoners at the beginning of his term in the ministry, and in the following year 240 prisoners, and these vacations were greatly reduced after Salem left the interior until they became 4 times a year and were limited to other humanitarian reasons such as a funeral or A wedding, and now the application of the legal retreat is carried out according to considerations by the prison administration that have nothing to do with justice and equal opportunities for prisoners, and are allowed only for those who collaborate with them and those who provide information.

The report confirms that the Ministry of Interior permits legal seclusion for prisoners and their wives now in the prisons of Mansoura, Fayoum, Wadi al-Natrun, and Torrah in two ways: in one of the rooms of the prison hospital ward where there are closed rooms in which the spouses meet without embarrassment, or in a tent that is established at the end of the visit ward in which the prisoner retreats with his wife For a regulated period, after which other prisoners exchange the place, so that today is sufficient for six prisoners.
The report states that d. “Ahmed Al-Majdoub” Professor of Sociology who conducted research in a number of prisons, and found that the percentage of perversion reaches 40% among prisoners, and said that it is less than that found in prisons in the West, such as England 70% and America 80%, indicating that prisoners whose prison term does not exceed They represent 701 TP1T of prisoners, and the percentage of married prisoners does not exceed 35% of all ages, while the rest of 65% are distributed among unmarried, widowed and divorced persons.
Another study conducted by Dr. Zarif Shawky at the National Center for Social and Criminal Research said that the sexual deprivation of prisoners pushes them to perform abnormal behaviors where 49% prisoners are married, and that the prevalence of homosexuality within the external community is 2% and inside the prison is 15% of the number of prisoners.

The Center conducted an opinion poll on a number of prisoners and detainees' wives, in which the result of the approval of the application of the legal seclusion for prisoners with their husbands reached 55.5% from the sample researched, but they have reservations about prolonging the detention period and are afraid of continuing new and repeated arrests from time to time if this is allowed to be exercised. The truth, and it was found that inmates refuse to be alone with their wives in prison during the visit out of fear for the feelings of their wives, where inhuman places are allocated for the exercise of this right. Therefore, the prisoner has too much prejudice against himself to the extent that he suffers from a number of mental illnesses such as depression and depression and the prison administration is forced to release him due to the deterioration His health is frighteningly healthy.

The report concluded with direct social consequences for not activating the right of legal seclusion inside Egyptian prisons, the most important of which is the increase in the rates of divorce of wives because they are harmed by the husband's imprisonment or his arrest, the increase in the rates of wives deviation, the increasing views of suspicion and suspicion of the source of the pregnancy of prisoners' wives due to the lack of legalization of the right of seclusion and government recognition of it Increasing cases of family dispersal of children and the social disintegration of families, and among the health and psychological consequences are the spread of psychological diseases such as frustration, depression, addiction, sexual diseases caused by abnormal and homosexual practices, the spread of psychological crises due to exposure to these situations and the increase in the psychological suffering of the wife and children even though they are not responsible for the husband's offense.

Among the security consequences is the spread of mass and individual escapes from prisons, the growing trend in support of the application and legalization of the right to legal privacy for prisoners with their wives in Egyptian prisons, especially since the Mufti of the Egyptian Home has decreed the legitimacy of this right to be supported by the Egyptian parliament and human rights associations, leaving the matter to the decisions of the administration that caused the Bad conditions in Egyptian prisons.

The report recommends activating the role of the social and psychological specialist in prisons, providing a doctor for every 20 prisoners or detainees, and submitting periodic reports on their health, psychological and social status as an indicator by which the actual feasibility of recognizing and codifying the right to legal seclusion, and informing the public opinion of the most important outputs of these reports so that human rights organizations can use them in Determining the aspects and extent of development in the conditions of Egyptian prisons, implementing the Minister of Interior’s decision to provide a bed for every prisoner or detainee and limiting the high density in prisons, implementing the family day system and providing housing units attached to prisons and not inside them for this purpose, mimicking the Saudi model, so that these units are safe and take into account. The privacy of prisoners with their families and wives provided that these visits take place throughout the day due to the large number of prisoners and detainees in Egypt.

The report also recommended the legalization of the right to legal seclusion by law to achieve justice and equality among prisoners of all sects, so that this right would be granted to everyone whose period of imprisonment exceeded one year, provided that male and female prisoners are denied for reasons related to morality such as prostitution and homosexuality, and that the law gives the right to legal seclusion for prisoners and leaves them to them. Demanding or not demanding it, and establishing health units independent of prison hospitals that examine the prisoner and his wife to ensure that they are free of diseases, and measure the opinion of prisoners, their families and their wives to find out the efficiency and effectiveness of the services provided to them, and conduct an intensive awareness campaign for community members about the right to seclusion and its legitimacy for the prisoner and his family until The negative societal perception of prisoners 'and detainees' wives ends in the event of pregnancy, taking into account the allocation of units for legal seclusion and family days when designing new prisons, and educating prison officials regarding this matter and its moral, social, health and psychological merit, correcting the inferior view they may hold for the prisoner and detainee, and activating supervision and control Judicial authority over prisons and transferring their affiliation from the Ministry of Interior to the Ministry of Justice
