The Commissioner of Prisons says the Trinidad and Tobago Prison Service continues to uphold international standards in the treatment and care of inmates, including those living with disabilities and serious medical conditions.

Speaking exclusively with TTT News, Commissioner Carlos Corraspe explained that inmates with disabilities are not left without care behind prison walls, and measures are in place to ensure they receive proper medical attention, daily care and humane treatment while incarcerated.

Commissioner Corraspe shared that every inmate entering the prison system undergoes a medical assessment, conducted by prison medical officers, to determine their physical and medical needs.
