General Secretary of the Prison Officers Association (POA), Lester Logie, says the Prison Service must accept some responsibility for the escape and subsequent fatal shooting of inmate Abraham Briggs, who died yesterday after being shot by police during a confrontation in Sangre Grande.
Briggs, 28, of Brooklyn Bridge Road, Sangre Grande, was serving a six-year sentence for robbery with aggravation and was scheduled to be released in March 2029. He escaped custody around 5 pm on Tuesday while on labour duty at the Youth Training and Rehabilitation Centre (YTRC).
