Frank Baine the Prisons spokesperson says that all imposed restrictions have been lifted to allow normal operations of the Prisons across the country following the full reopening of the economy.
Baine revealed that the admissions of new prisoners will be reverted to traditional ways by not isolating them and also resumption of normal operations of taking inmates to courts and also allowing visitors.
