The Department of Correctional Services (DCS) is aware of the viral social media video highlighting two events allegedly recorded in two correctional institutions.

The DCS would like to clearly state that the circulated video is not recent, and was edited to reflect a tour of a correctional institution with the Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of National Security (MNS), Matthew Samuda.

The leadership of the DCS would like to emphasize that circumstances similar to this one have been dealt with in the past and the respective personnel held responsible.

The MNS and the DCS through its commitment to legislative amendments and technological advances remain vigilant in its pursuit of securing the nation’s correctional facilities and contributing to a safer country.
