UNC: Protect Rougier
The UNC yesterday called on National Security Minister Martin Joseph to ensure that Commissioner of Prisons John Rougier receives all the necessary support to protect his officers from blackmail. In a release, the Opposition UNC stated that it was appalled by the revelations coming from Rougier — that prison officers were being threatened into supplying inmates with "whatever they ask for." "We support commissioner Rougier’s position that he is prepared to do everything in his power to ensure that members of the Prison Services do not succumb to threats from the inmates or their families," the UNC said. It added that it also maintained that prison officers need to be able to carry out their duties without being compromised. "Therefore the authorities need to take the necessary action against those inmates and their families who engage in such schemes," the UNC said.
