President directs officials to prevent crimes being planned from prison
President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has insisted that immediate steps should be taken to stop underworld leaders and drug kingpins from masterminding crimes from within prison.
The President made the comments when he met with relevant officials to review the internal situation within prisons yesterday (1), the President's Media Unit (PMD) said.
He told officials that there was credible information revealing that most crimes and largescale drug smuggling operations were being masterminded from the country's prisons.
"This must be rectified. The use of mobile phones within prisons in particular should be stamped out," the PMD quoted the President as saying.
He added that corrupt and inefficient prison officials should be identified and correct steps should be taken against them.
