The home affairs ministry is considering proposals to upgrade the 512-inmate New Amsterdam Prison as well as to address dietary concerns.
According to a Government Information Agency (GINA) press release, Home Minister Clement Rohee visited the Berbice prison for an on-spot inspection during an outreach exercise on Thursday last. He said the visit allowed him to get a clearer vision of the changes the officials there are contemplating as well as an opportunity to see the conditions under which both males and female inmates are being housed.
