This is why the prison is so overcrowded. The legal system was broken since under the PPP. Granger needs to fix it now.
Magistrate Leron Daly jailed Rohan Chand for nine months for stealing cigarettes. No fine was imposed. No community service ordered. This sentence comes two weeks after one of the world's worst prison fires by inmates burnt down the central prison and the staff club in Guyana. After the July 9 arson there was consensus in the society, including the government leaders, that jail for non-violent crimes and unrealistic bail would be reviewed.
