Mazaruni prison inmate protests ill treatment

Jun 30, 2012 News

As inmates of the Mazaruni Prison cultivate crops as not only a means of “recreation” but in an effort to be fed what they produce, their hard grown crops are being reportedly sold in Bartica as pocket money for the administrators of the prison.
This was according to 20-year-old Ronald Charles, an inmate who explained that making complaints is a waste of time, since all the persons in authority are related to each other.
“Complaining ain’t making sense, because everybody in authority is family. Somebody marry somebody,” the inmate pointed out.
He further noted that for the past few months, the prisoners are being fed nothing but peas and rice.
“Split peas, black eye, channa, and all kinds of other peas is all we getting with rice”.
He also lamented that the cooks would give the prisoners milk mixed with flour to drink.
The young man who was incarcerated in December for a simple larceny charge, is calling on the authorities to look into the situation as soon as possible, since he has been abstaining from food for a few days now, as the peas gives him “burn stomach”.
“Even a prisoner like myself ain’t deserve this; we are people too. And I am only in here because of circumstances”.
The lad says that he is certain that an investigation will reveal major corruption in the prison.
