The move comes in the wake of a stabbing incident this past Sunday that resulted in the death of one inmate and severe injuries to another. Four inmates were reportedly involved in the incident.

According to a media release from the Ministry of Health & Social Development on Wednesday, prison visits are temporarily suspended “until further notice”.

However, items may be dropped off from Monday to Friday between 8:30 am to 12 noon and 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm.

Further information, the release said, will be issued once the facility returns to normal operations.
