: The Prisons Department has revealed that prison congestion was on the rise throughout the country due to an influx in new drug related cases.
Prisons deputy commissioner-general Datuk Abdul Aziz Abdul Razak said that congestion usually occurred in cities in Selangor Johor, Kelantan and Terengganu, with signs of inmate congestion showing in Kajang Prison, Sungai Buloh Prison and Kluang Prison.
Abdul Aziz cautioned that the situation would get worse if not managed properly and currently his department along with the Home Ministry were looking for solutions via various programmes. “Currently my department has conducted programmes such as the parole system, the mandatory attendance order, licenced inmate release, inmate reintegration programme and community rehabilitation programme, to reduce congestion in prisons,” he added.CLP Power Signs MoU with Major Public Housing Management Company Creative Property to Enhance Property Management Sector’s Extreme Weather Resilience
