The 30 prison officers affected by the mid-morning fire that completely gutted the living quarters of the Guyana Prison Service at Parade Street in Kingston, Georgetown have now been permanently relocated at Lusignan, East Coast Demerara. According to the Guyana Prison Service, two new living quarters were constructed for senior and junior staff at that location, and those facilities can accommodate 100 male and 50 female prison officers. Director of Prisons, Nicklon Elliot, has said alternative measures are also in place to address the personal needs of these displaced officers, who are expected to resume duty today. This devastating fire swept through the building at Parade Street in Kingston, Georgetown two Fridays ago. At the time, 30 prison officers attached to the Lusignan and Georgetown prisons were occupying the building. The cause of the fire remains a mystery, but the Guyana Fire Service has said investigations are ongoing, and a comprehensive report, ascertaining the origin and cause of the blaze, is expected in due course. The destroyed living quarters had been commissioned some 13 years ago to provide relief to prison officers who, in previous times, had incurred significant expenses for accommodation in hotels when brought from outlying areas to the city.
