COLOMBO (News 1st): Inmates on remand custody were provided with the necessary facilities to speak to their relatives online, Lohan Ratwatte, the State Minister of Prison Management & Prisoners’ Rehabilitation said on Friday (Jan. 22).
“This measure was implemented, taking into account the restriction on visitation to prisons, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, inmates on remand custody can communicate with their relatives by using zoom technology,” the State Minister noted.
According to State Minister Ratwatte, at the time he assumed duties, there were around 30,000 inmates adding it was reduced to 11,000 through discussions held with the Ministry of Justice.

Investigations into the Mahara prison riot that claimed the lives of 11 inmates and wounded over 100 recently have taken a new turn with eight post mortems conducted so far revealing that all of them died of gunshot injuries.
In the run-up post-mortems conducted by a five-member team comprising four consultant judicial medical officers and a ballistic expert from the Government Analyst’s Department, both police headquarters and the Office of the Commissioner General of Prisons repeatedly alleged that the deaths were due to fierce clashes among remanded suspects and convicted prisoners.
