UK security expert Lt Col (rtd) Russell Combe, who is working closely with the Guyana government to resuscitate the Security Sector Reform Action Plan (SSRAP), will be broadening his mandate to assess the country’s prison situation.
During the past six weeks, the country’s prison system has been shaken by unrest, which included the Camp Street penitentiary being devastated by fire during a jailbreak.
Asked yesterday whether Combe has any plans to address the prison system in his work given the recent developments, British High Commissioner to Guyana Greg Quinn responded in the affirmative.
