DRUG TRADE AT DHAKA JAIL

Shift 600 inmates to Kashimpur

Recommends probe body

STAFF CORRESPONDENT
Incidences of irregularities, disorder, and a thriving drug trade inside the Dhaka Central Jail has prompted a probe body to suggest shifting 600 inmates to the Kashimpur jail to stop such activities.
The eight-member committee,
formed on March 24, revealed in a report that the drug trade flourishes inside the jail walls due to a nexus between a section of jail officials, staff and criminals. The officials recommended transferring jail staff more frequently to prevent the build up of such a nexus, a source close to
FROM PAGE 16 the probe body said.
Dildar Ahmed, deputy secretary (administration) of the home ministry, who headed the probe-body, declined to name the officials or staff allegedly involved in the activities, saying only, "Our committee found some anomalies in its investigation and we have proposed some recommendation.
According to the probe source, the committee found that corrupt jail officials are colluding with some of the jail's most notorious criminals, most of them convicted. To stem the tide of such illegal activities, it recommended transferring some 600 convicts to the Kashimpur jail.
The committee submitted these findings in a report to home secretary Safarraj Hossain on Saturday afternoon following 16 days of investigation.
The committee's investigation deduced that widespread use of mobile phones allows the drug trade to operate inside the jail. Although the committee could not catch red-
handed any mobile users, it received evidence that criminals frequently use the device inside the jail.
The report suggested using a jammer, an electronic device that disrupts mobile networks, to stop the use of mobile phones by the jail inmates.
Other recommendations by the committee included setting up an x-ray machine and a fully equipped pathological laboratory inside the jail hospital, as such a step would prevent frequent visits by inmates, particularly notorious criminals, outside the jail for pathological tests. It also suggested transferring the jail's hospital staff as allegations have arisen that some assist inmates to go outside the hospital in the name of treatment.
The probe body also suggested extending the height of the jail's walls, as the current height allows individuals from throwing packets of drugs inside the jail.
