The Welfare and Corrections Department of the Guyana Prison Service (GPS) in keeping with its mandate to rehabilitate inmates launched its information technology (IT) programme at the Mazaruni Prison yesterday.

Currently 20 inmates are benefitting from the programme.

According to a GPS release, the opportunity was made possible through funds received from the Inter-American Development Bank and the Ministry of Legal Affairs; this allowed all prison locations to be equipped with computer labs.
