PRISON officers stationed at the Timehri and Mazaruni prisons were urged to always be vigilant while on duty.
This call was made by Director of Prisons, Nicklon Elliot, at his quarterly muster and general inspection of officers at both locations on Wednesday at Timehri and on Thursday at Mazaruni.
“To be vigilant you must be fearless, observant, and confident. There must never be any doubt that you are observing, analyzing and ready to protect those under your watch,” the Prisons Director said.

Elliot told the officers that they should be confident and know exactly what role they are filling in the line of duty.
“You are ultimately responsible for safety, security, and supervision of inmates that are under your care,” Elliot stressed.
Meanwhile, quarterly muster is slated for the Prison headquarters, and at the Georgetown and Lusignan prisons over the next week.
