The Guyana Prison Service (GPS) yesterday received tools and equipment worth $11 million to improve the rehabilitation of inmates, while lowering the current recidivism rate.
The items were donated through the Citizen Security Strengthening Programme (CSSP) project and were funded by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
They are to aid in skills training for various fields, such as agriculture, plumbing, masonry, electrical installation, carpentry, joinery and auto-mechanic repairs.
