Prisoners In Jamaica To Receive Conjugal Visits
Persons currently serving time behind bars in Jamaica are now set to start receiving conjugal visits according to Security Minister Robert Montague.
The security minister made the revelation while speaking at the Jamaica 55 Diaspora Conference in Kingston on Monday.
Mr Montague is of the view that allowing inmates to have restricted sexual relations with their partners will have a positive impact on the correctional system.
He said in search of more effective reform within the prison system, a wider array of initiatives are being introduced to help rehabilitate inmates.
He also revealed that the overall prison population has been reclassified to separate hardened criminals from low-level and low-risk offenders.
Additionally, he noted that two of the meals provided in prisons each day are from food produced by inmates.
