DON'T GIVE MONEY TO INMATES
Visitors To Prisons Told
People visiting relatives in prison institutions are advised
today that inmates do not need money and they should not therefore give
money to them on visits.
A Prisons Department spokesman said that prison services are
financed entirely from public funds and under the Prison rules inmates
are prohibited from being in possession of money whilst serving their
sentences.
·
The spokesman urged residents to report to the Commissioner
of Prisons or his deputy, or the anti-corruption branch, cases where
they are approached for money by anybody when they visit their relatives
in prisons,
A leaflet to this effect has been prepared by the Department and
copies are being distributed to visitors.
