Dear Editor,
The recent escape of three inmates from the Lusignan prison and the subsequent riot that resulted in 10 prisoners being injured by rubber bullets and live rounds used by security officers who were called out to quell the uprising, have once again brought to the fore the challenges facing Guyana in its overcrowded prisons and poorly managed penal system.

The logic of this argument is that we must stop thinking of building new prisons instead, we ought to be looking at meaningful solutions to reduce the need for jails.
Yours faithfully,
Tacuma Ogunseye

Perhaps as a immediate start, prisoners can be housed in the homes of government ministers; starting with the Minister of Public Security.
