HOMELAND Security Minister Roger Alexander confirmed that acting Prisons Commissioner Carlos Corraspe has been sent on leave.
However, he says the decision was not linked to the ongoing state of emergency (SoE).
Corraspe went on leave on August 7, during the height of the SoE declared on July 18 and extended by Parliament on July 28 for a further three months after police intelligence pointed to inmates at the Maximum Security Prison plotting to kill key official in law enforcement and justice sectors in an attempt to destabilise the country.
