Minister of Homeland Security Roger Alexander and Attorney General John Jeremie will be visiting Defence Force bases in Chaguaramas on October 2 following a report by the Prison Officers' Association of TT (POATT) that one or more high-risk inmates recently threw faeces on a prison officer.

Under the Detention of Persons (Discipline and Place of Detention) (No 2) Directions in the current state of emergency (SoE), detainees are housed at either Teteron Barracks or Staubles Bay in Chaguaramas.

In a Facebook post on October 1, the union said inmates assaulted a prison officer by throwing faeces at him and that the officer was made to remain on duty in the soiled clothing.
