Two pro­posed in­fra­struc­tur­al projects aimed at en­hanc­ing na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty ef­fi­cien­cies have been wel­comed by lo­cal se­cu­ri­ty stake­hold­ers, but one as­so­ci­a­tion head is urg­ing Gov­ern­ment to in­vest in main­tain­ing fa­cil­i­ties to en­sure suc­cess.

Dur­ing the launch of the Trinidad and To­ba­go Re­vi­tal­i­sa­tion Blue­print on Thurs­day, Gov­ern­ment high­light­ed the con­struc­tion of a Tamana Cen­tre for Jus­tice to house pris­on­ers of var­i­ous cat­e­gories, fa­cil­i­tate on-site court hear­ings, and ac­com­mo­date re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion and agri­cul­tur­al pro­grammes, among oth­er fea­tures.

Ac­cord­ing to the Gov­ern­ment, the fa­cil­i­ty is en­vi­sioned to cov­er 500 acres of land, mak­ing it the largest piece of prison in­fra­struc­ture in lo­cal his­to­ry.
