Reconstruction at the Camp Street prison recently recommenced, months after it was stopped due to the new Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak and upon completion it will accommodate one hundred and eighty inmates.

Speaking to Sunday Stabroek yesterday, Director of Prisons Gladwin Samuels said that the reconstruction is presently being done in three parts.

Each part, he said, will comprise twenty cells which will accommodate sixty prisoners.
