Home Affairs Advisor Lieutenant General (retd) M Jahangir Alam Chowdhury today (Sep 9) made a call to turn prisons across country to a ‘reform’ centre.

He was speaking as chief guest in a view exchange meeting with the officials of the Prisons Department in capital’s Bakshibazar area this morning.

Calling to turn the prisons into a ‘correction’ center, the advisor said the food quality of the prison guards and prisoners should have to be developed. The efficiency of the prison guards and the prisoners will also be improved.

At this time he said bribery and corruption must be stopped in an attempt to resolving most of the problems in the prisons.

“Most of the problems inside the prisons could be resolved by stopping bribery and corruption,” he said

Mentioning the recent anti-discrimination student movement, the home advisor said the protest didn’t held only for reviewing the job quota but bribery, corruption and essentials price hike were the main spirit behind the movement.

In the end Alam said: “bribery is not allowed …we must have to stop bribery anyhow and there is no alternative to this.”
