Human rights advocates express deep concern over the continued use of unsanitary slop buckets at His Majesty’s Prison, deeming the practice outdated and incompatible with contemporary standards.
Colonel Trevor Pennyfeather, the Prison Superintendent, was appalled upon assuming his role in February, noting the method’s unpleasantness and its serious health and safety hazards for inmates and staff.
The prevalence of flies and the pervasive odor exemplify the issues associated with this antiquated system.
Inmates resort to hurling waste at each other and the officers, creating an enduring problem.
Colonel Pennyfeather has prioritized the installation of flushing toilets in the colonial-era prison, tracing its origins back to the mid-18th century.
Highlighting the urgency, he emphasizes the need to replace the archaic practice with modern sewage processing systems.
Assessments by the ministries of health and public works have taken place, awaiting funding approval to implement the essential upgrade, long overdue for a facility of this historical significance.
