The Prison Commissioner Chandraratne Pallegama said today that steps were being made to attach a photograph of the prisoners to their personal file as stipulated by the Prisons Act.
Mr. Pallegama said according to the Prisons Act – Clause 156, it was necessary to do so but it had not been put into practice up to date.
“We have decided to attach a photograph of the prisoners to their personal file because it will help us arrest the prison escapees easily. We can seek assistance of the people and the media to identify the escapees. This was stipulated in the Prison’s Act but it has not been put into practice so far,” he said.
Mr. Pallegama said the Department had planned to purchase the required apparatus like still cameras in a few days to initiate the process. (Sanath Desmond)
