BREAKING NEWS: Jail break and fire at Georgetown prison

Posted by: Denis Chabrol in Crime, News July 9, 2017 0 Comments

There is a jail break and fire at the Georgetown Prison, fire and prison officials have confirmed.

Fire fighters, police and other security personnel have responded to the report of a prison riot. Prison Chief, Gladwin Samuels said he received a report of an escape and he was on his way to the maximum security jail.

One prison officer was shot during the unrest at the jail.

The capital block was destroyed by fire. Fire fighters said they were unable to enter the prison compound because the prisoners are armed with guns and the situation is very volatile.

Several months ago, 16 prisoners were killed in a fire there.

Where is the Minister of Public Security? This happened last year also. Clearly, he didn't put proper security measures in place to prevent Round Two! The prisoners are smarter than him.

With all the perks of half a million to rent a house for the junior minister maybe all the money for that project has been squandered out and nothing remains.

Now is Grangha impotent?

Mazaruni Prison to see $60M expansion

April 28, 2017

Minister of State, Joseph Harmon, announced at Thursday’s post-Cabinet press briefing that almost $60 million would be spent on expanding and rehabilitating the riverine correctional facility of the Mazuruni Prison, located in Region Seven (Cuyuni/Mazaruni), in order to accommodate more long-term prisoners from the Camp Street Prison in Georgetown.

The minister disclosed that Cabinet had given its approval for two contracts to be issued in this regard: one for $28.1million to A. Nazir and Sons Contracting, and another for $30.4 million to R. Kissoon Contracting Services Limited.

I wonder why Granjha has not yet given Rumjhaat the boot as yet?
The PNC will just walk away with the next Elections as the Corrupt PPP/C still have a lesion to learn. God have mercy on Guyana.

It is true that the MOPS is not doing his job properly and this job should be given to a person, who can act more effectively on the security of prisoners.

If these prisoners get out in public, it will be hell to pay for the ordinary citizens.

Maybe this is an attempt by the PNC to manage their budget, kill off half the prisoners via fire and save expenditures cost on incarceration. I would not put this beyond this administration as we know that they give themselves 50% raises and left the tax payers high and dry.

Is it true or not that the PNC will save taxpayers dollars by killing off the prisoners? A sinister plan indeed by jackass Granger et al to cover up their incompetence.
