Police maintain presence as things return to normal

UP to early yesterday morning the Guyana Fire Service and ranks from the Guyana Police and prison officers were still on high alert as inmates of the Camp Street prison remained uneasy following the presence of a prison officer they are calling “controversial”.

On Sunday afternoon the inmates of the section where hard core prisoners are kept were busy disturbing the peace and they set fire to a mattress in protest at the return of a prison officer who, they said, is responsible for the death of an inmate.
Contrary to updates on several social sites, there has been no prison break at the facility.
By late yesterday it seemed that the situation was back to normal.
