DOCTORS at the Georgetown Public Hospital were yesterday afternoon battling to save the life of prison inmate Terry Joseph, 29, who was stabbed to his right chest at the Camp Street Prison.The Guyana Chronicle has been informed that the man got into an argument with another inmate and he received the stab wound during a fight. Efforts to ascertain what exactly the man is serving time for in the Camp Street jail were futile.
Over the years, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Guyana Prison Service have been venting their concerns over the presence of weapons and other items in the Camp Street jail.
In the past, several prison officers and members of the public were charged and placed before the courts for providing prisoners with prohibited items.
