Acting Chief Prison Officer laments the issue of illegal substances being thrown over the prison fence

Acting Chief Prison Officer Jeffrey Edmund has lamented that illegal substances, thrown over the prison fence for inmates is a constant problem at the Dominica State Prison.

According to Edmund, this remains a daily challenge.

Speaking at a National Security Ministry press conference last week, he said upon completion of a buffer zone, that challenge should be addressed.

Meantime Edmunds has informed the public that due to COVID 19 prisoners are not allowed to have visitors.
