'New Wing' of Beau-Bassin Prison: Introduction of Body Cameras - A Step Forward in Protecting Guards and Inmates

Soon, the guards at the New Wing of Beau-Bassin Prison will be equipped with body cameras, with the first units expected to arrive by the end of the month. This initiative is part of a broader strategy by the prison commissioner, aiming to eventually equip all guards with these devices. The primary goal is twofold: on one hand, the cameras are intended to prevent and reduce assaults by deterring violence and ensuring there is a record of incidents.
