De­fence Min­is­ter Wayne Sturges says an in­mate at the Max­i­mum Se­cu­ri­ty Prison (MSP) was us­ing a 65-inch tele­vi­sion in his cell to com­mu­ni­cate with peo­ple on the out­side. The in­mate was re­port­ed­ly us­ing pop­u­lar on­line video games which al­low play­ers to com­mu­ni­cate with each oth­er while play­ing the games.

In an in­ter­view with Guardian Me­dia at his Tem­ple Court, Port-of-Spain of­fice yes­ter­day, Sturge al­so dis­pelled sug­ges­tions that the tele­vi­sion in the in­mate’s cell he re­ferred to dur­ing a pre­sen­ta­tion in Freeport on Wednes­day night, was in the com­mu­nal area of the prison.
