Prison service sets out how inmates can be contacted

The Guyana Prison Service yesterday said that efforts are being made to allow family members and friends to communicate with prisoners legally as following the July 9, 2017 jail break at the Georgetown Prison, legal forms of communication were disrupted.

In the table below, the various Prison locations and numbers are represented so as to enable contact. The prison service said that it is recommended that persons interested in contacting prisoners use the numbers provided. It said that any requests made for credit transactions should be reported to 225 6003, as this is prohibited.

In the table below, the prison service said that the scheduled periods of contact in relation to the various prison locations are listed.  National holidays are excluded.

The prison service said that it hopes that this initiative will benefit families and loved ones as intended. Visits are expected to commence on or before Friday, September 8, 2017 at the New Holding Area Lusignan and Lusignan Prisons.
