POINTE BLANCHE--Inmates at the Pointe Blanche House of Detention protested yesterday their living conditions and the recent theft of an inmate's pay.
Inmates stayed in their cells and refused to report for work.
According to a senior prison official, the prisoners believe unsatisfactory living conditions within the prison remain unaddressed.
The police were sent to the premises to ensure that prisoners remained peaceful and did not pose a threat to the safety of staff or one another.
There were no indications of any altercations between inmates and guards. The protest remains ongoing up to press time.
