Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>One hundred and sixteen (116) inmates escaped from prisons between January 2021 and October this year, the Zimbabwe Prisons and Correctional Services (ZPCS) has said.<\/p>\n

ZPCS national public relations officer, Chief Superintendent Meya Khanyezi, said most of the escapees were B-class inmates.<\/p>\n

She said most fugitives will sneak away after asking for permission to relieve themselves when they will be outside for work duties while serving their terms at medium-security prisons.<\/p>\n

Khanyezi also revealed that Harare Central and Chikurubi Farm prisons had high incidences of prison escapes. She said:<\/p>\n

In 2021, 64 inmates escaped from our prisons, and 52 inmates in 2022 to date, making a total of 116.<\/p>\n

Harare Central and Chikurubi Farm prisons have a high incidence of escapes since these stations have more B-class inmates, who go out of prison to work.<\/p>\n

Police, however, recaptured 40 escapees during the same period. After escaping, 40 inmates were recaptured \u2014 18 in 2021 and 22 in 2022.<\/p>\n

To prevent future escapes, ZPCS is installing closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems at maximum prisons and arming its officers and increasing the number of dogs used by prison officers.<\/p>\n
