‘Dog fight’ at Lusignan prison

A probe has been launched into the activities of prisoners at the Lusignan Prison after a video of a fight between two prisoners that was staged to mimic a dog fight, surfaced on social media.

Director of Prisons, Gladwin Samuels yesterday confirmed the fight took place, which seemed to be a form of entertainment for inmates.

In a statement he said, “A video done in the Holding Bay at Lusignan was just brought to my attention.    Immediately, an investigation commenced and it was ascertained thus far, that the video was done on Easter Monday.”
