Imotong State Prison Service lacks space to accommodate inmates, which Director of Administration describes as ‘a stumbling block’.
Major Bertin Pious Ober reveals that increase of prisoners is the major cause of insufficient rooms for inmates, Radio Emmanuel reports.
He says most of the suspects brought in the prison committed major offences, including robbery.
Major Pious says many prisoners are men compared to women.
The director calls for construction of more wards to accommodate prisoners because the number is too high.
Major Pious warns that overcrowding results to sickness.
