Sri Lanka Telecom recently conducted a CSR programme to self-quarantine prisoners, during the COVID-19 virus pandemic.
To prevent transmitting the coronavirus within the prisoners, the Government and the Department of Prisons have been taken steps to self-quarantine all the prisoners with their fullest support.
SLT provided LTE (4G) connections to the Prison Department on an FOC basis. These are to be used at island-wide prisons. This donation was conducted to facilitate the prisoners to contact their closest family members.
SLT also provided broadband connections to the Colombo Prison and the Magazine Prison, helping prisoners to appear in the courts through skype technology without a physical presence. SLT provided a complete video conferencing solution also which can be used by prisoners to be present in courts in a more professional way, SLT said in a media release.
