CM wants Punjab prisons improved 

May 17, 2022 01:56 AM


Punjab Chief Minister Hamza Shahbaz Sharif Monday has sought a comprehensive roadmap for the prisoners’ welfare, 24NewsHD TV channel reported.

"I know how detainees spend their time in jails as I got through 22-month imprisonment," he said, adding that the jail world was a different phenomenon where inhuman treatment was meted out to inmates because of the outdated system.

He stressed the need for immediate resolution of the problems of jail employees and prisoners and said that necessary medical tools should be provided in jail hospitals.

The ambulances should be available to transfer patients from jail hospitals to other hospitals, he added.

Hamza Shehbaz issued directives to start a shuttle service from the gate of Kot Lakhpat jail to the jail building for facilitating the visitors.

Similarly, the conditions of prisoners' rooms should also be improved, he said, and asked the officials to submit a line of action along with a timeline to improve the jail system.
