Prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago Kamla Persad-Bissessar has appointed a special committee to investigate and address issues at the Golden Grove State Prison.
This follows a series of incidents and protest action by prisoners. The prime minister said she had been personally monitoring the ongoing situation at the Golden Grove State Prison and stated that she was deeply concerned over recent and continuing developments related to the prison and to the situation in general.
The situation escalated recently with the killing of off-duty prisons officer, Andy Rogers, on November 6 at Malabar. |
