GPS launches internal investigation into alleged prison scandal

The Guyana Prison Service (GPS) has initiated an internal investigation in response to a social media post titled “Prison Scandal Unveiled,” which has generated significant attention online.
Taking immediate action, Director of Prisons Nicklon Elliot is determined to address the disturbing allegations that have surfaced.
According to the viral post that was made on Thursday, a convicted prisoner who is serving a 55-year sentence at the New Amsterdam Prison has disclosed shocking details about his relationship with a former member of the auxiliary staff.
The prisoner reportedly released videos on social media, revealing their intimate encounters within the prison walls.
Further, the prisoner claimed that the former staff member willingly participated in filming the erotic activities. It was also alleged that the prison officer smuggled drugs into the facility, which were distributed among the inmates as a business.
However, based on reports, when the situation took a darker turn, the officer allegedly resigned from her position. Furthermore, it is alleged that she fled with a substantial amount of money acquired through their illicit trade.
While the precise timeline of their involvement remains uncertain, subsequent photographs emerged depicting the alleged officer with a tattoo of an abstract sketch resembling the face of the convicted prisoner.
In response to the gravity of these allegations, the Guyana Prison Service has launched an internal investigation to ascertain the veracity of the claims and take appropriate action. The matter is being treated with the utmost urgency.
The Prison Service said it is committed to upholding the integrity of its operations and ensuring the safety and security of all inmates.
