While saying the prison system is at a “bad place,” Minister of Home Affairs Robeson Benn yesterday told the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) leadership that it offers an opportunity for retooling to make significant improvements.
Benn was speaking at the opening ceremony of the GPS Senior Officer’s Conference, where he detailed his vision for realizing better facilities and advanced welfare for both inmates and prison staff over the next three years.
The two-day conference is being hosted at the Guyana Police Force Training Centre Auditorium at Camp Street, under the theme “Working towards improving the image of the Guyana Prison Service”.
