Contraband smuggling has been a perennial problem within the prison system, and this is compounded by the fact that both prison and Police Officers are facilitating the illegal trade, which is said to be “big business”.

On this note, a large quantity of prohibited items were unearthed during a six-hour search by ranks of the joint service on Monday at the Mazaruni Prison.
