Prison wardens detained for “ganja” smelling bag

…arrested after bag thrown over prison fence

Two prison wardens have been detained and are now being investigated after a bag was thrown over a fence of the holding bay at the Lugisnan Prison on Tuesday morning.
According to the Director of Prisons, Gladwin Samuels, the bag was thrown over the fence at about 04:05h.
He noted that when checks were made, only two prison wardens were found in the area. However, a third officer was arrested after initial investigations revealed the bag belonged to him. Samuels noted that it is believed that the bag continued marijuana since the scent of the illegal substance was high.
The three prison officers have since been placed in Police custody as an internal investigation is set to commence.
Samuels stated that based on the findings, the necessary letter(s) of interdiction will be issued.
He reinforced that the fight against trafficking of contraband must be collective, adding, “We will continue to work to correct the very sad situation that has contributed to damaging the image of the organisation.”
