Senior Superintendent and Officer in Charge of the Mazaruni Prison, Alexander Hopkinson, is thankful for the support received since the intake of 83 additional prisoners at the facility. The transfer of the 83 inmates followed the fire which reduced the Camp Street Prison to rubble, displacing over 1000 inmates.
Senior Superintendent Hopkinson said that he is currently receiving tremendous support from his staff despite their being a young batch. He also noted that prison officers are handling the situation in a professional manner.
“The mindset is they are ready for any encounter; they know what is to be done because they are already trained in the area,” Hopkinson explained.
Hopkinson also pointed out that support is also coming from the Regional Democratic Council (RDC), the Mayor’s office, among others. “We are receiving great support from the Bartica police Mr. Budhram, the army,” Hopkinson stated.
The Officer in Charge confirmed that despite the additional prisoners, there are adequate rations and space for all the inmates.
Following the fire which gutted the Camp Street Prison the government has been forced to transfer inmates to the various prison facilities, countrywide. (DPI)
