Acting Prisons Commissioner Carlos Corraspe says the sharing of responsibilities for the prison system between Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander and Minister of Justice Devesh Maharaj will bode well for the effective functioning of the criminal justice system.
Corraspe made the remarks one day after the roles and functions of different ministries were gazetted on Friday.
The notice outlined that while Alexander would have oversight for the Trinidad and Tobago Prison Service, including prison service reform, community service, rehabilitation and parole and prisoner management, Maharaj would be responsible for probation services, offender management (including the youth re-offender programme), reform and transformation.
