Minister of Home Affairs, Robeson Benn on Friday urged inmates of the Mazaruni Prison to take opportunity of rehabilitation while they are incarcerated and adopt “better ambition, vision and behaviour”.

“We must make provision where those who are in prison must have hope beyond the walls and when leaving the prison, they must be successfully reintegrated into society,” a release from the Guyana Prison Service quoted Benn as saying.

On Friday, Benn visited the facility to have a first-hand assessment of the new prison block that is being built.
