CHIEF of Defence Staff (CDS) Air Vice Marshal Darryl Daniel and acting Prisons Commissioner Hayden Forde have submitted separate memoranda to the Homeland Security Ministry in response to allegations by senior prison officer Garth Guada that his detention at the Teteron Barracks, Chaguaramas, is “deplorable and inhumane.”

The ministry has since denied the allegations.

On September 22, CDS Daniel wrote to the ministry’s permanent secretary. He described the conditions under which Guada was being held at the army’s base.
