§ 28. Mr. Wyattasked the Secretary of State for the Colonies what the arrangements are for the inspection of prisons in the Gold Coast.
§ Mr. J. GriffithsRegular routine inspections are made by senior members of the Prisons Department. In addition, visiting committees, appointed by the Governor to each of the penal establishments in the Colony, make monthly visits of inspection, hear complaints and make recommendations regarding all aspects of penal administration.
§ Mr. WyattHow often are these prisons inspected? I have very disturbing details about the conditions in them. If I send to my right hon. Friend those details will he see that the prison inspectors do, in fact, investigate the complaints?
§ Mr. GriffithsIf my hon. Friend will send me the details, I will look into them.
