Camp Street jail beating…‘One month without any answer’ – relative

Jul 02, 2013 News

As investigations continue into the alleged beating of a prisoner at the Camp Street prison by three prison warders, relatives are now calling on the relevant authorities to intervene.
On May 30, family members were enraged after 32 year-old Stravo Evans, aka ‘Mankind’ was “brutally beaten” by three officers while he was taking a shower. They claimed that he was then thrown back into his cell without medical attention. Evans was taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital where he remained for two days.
According to his sister, Roena Evans, after she received the information from the Director of Prisons, Dale Erskine, that the matter will be investigated, she and family were adamant that some justice would be brought to bear.
However, the very distraught sister said that when many calls were made to the prison and the Director, it was all to no avail. They said that they are still awaiting word on the investigation. She added that since the article was published about the beating, her brother related to her that he has not received any proper medication and has not received proper meals.
“They ill-treating him in the prisons because he spoke out against them, but we want to hear something from the prisons and one month gone and we haven’t heard from Erskine. When we called his phone he not answering.
Evans has been incarcerated for the past four years awaiting his High Court trial for a murder in 2009.
Meanwhile efforts to reach Director of Prisons Dale Erskine by telephone were futile.
