The Guyana Prison Service noted that several guards’ names have been called by the prisoner. Bailey, 37, was admitted to the Georgetown Public Hospital over a week ago with a fractured left arm and a cut to his right arm, following a confrontation with ranks.
The incident occurred while Bailey was in solitary confinement. He was subsequently discharged from the hospital and admitted to the infirmary at the Camp Street Prison. Bailey is facing retrial for the murder of his 18-month-old son, Shaquan Nero, who was slain after he allegedly attacked the child’s mother, Bernadette Nero in April 2007, at Amelia’s Ward, Linden.
Prison officials described Bailey, who is facing a second trial for murder, as a troublemaker. His mother, Pearl Bailey had appealed to the Minister of Home Affairs Clement Rohee to investigate the case.
