Following reports of a prison riot, last Saturday, at the Lusignan penitentiary’s new holding area, where approximately 400 prisoners transferred from Camp Street are held, the Department of Public Information (DPI) had reported that Prison Wardens were left with no choice but to use force to calm the ‘excessive disorder’ being exhibited by the inmates.
Several prisoners were shot and are suffering from minor injuries, while several others suffered injuries as a result of fights among the prisoners. There were no deaths or escapes.
The DPI had said, as a last resort, the use of force, including firearms, was required to restore order and maintain the integrity of the holding facility.
