After a 21-year-old prisoner committed suicide, prison officers in a WhatsApp group cruelly joked about it, leading to their dismissal amidst widespread outrage.
The mother of the deceased inmate expressed her deep hurt, stating, 'These are meant to be prison officers. They haven't apologised to us... Do they know how it hurts when you lose a child?'
The officers' messages included derogatory comments about the inmate's death, demonstrating a sickening disregard for human life and the challenges faced by those in custody.
Management response included the dismissal of two officers for their unprofessional conduct, while other staff were issued warnings, highlighting a need for accountability in prison environments.
