Strict attention is now being paid to the transportation of items into the New Amsterdam Prison after a female prison officer was busted with a quantity of marijuana within the correctional facility.
The prison officer identified as the relative of a former prison chief reportedly instructed an inmate to take a bag into the prison for another inmate. Upon uplifting the bag at the main gate, Kaieteur News understands that the inmate enquired as to what the items were and was told it was medication for the inmate.
Before being delivered, the bag was subjected to a second search whilst the said female officer was standing nearby. She attempted to retrieve the bag before it was searched, as a result a scuffle ensued between her and another officer.
The bag was subsequently taken into possession by the officer who was attempting to carry out the search. Upon checking, a quantity of leaves, stems and seeds suspected to be cannabis sativa was discovered in the bag.
The matter was reported and the officer was taken into police custody.
