The Nationalist Party (PN) has called for a parliamentary debate on prison conditions in Malta, demanding answers on security and fundamental rights. The request follows reports of overcrowding and incidents within the correctional facilities.
PN spokesperson for home affairs, Darren Carabott, stated that the government must address the deteriorating situation. He emphasized the need for transparency and accountability regarding the treatment of inmates and the safety of prison staff.
According to recent reports, the prison population has exceeded capacity, leading to tensions. The PN is seeking a detailed plan from the government to improve infrastructure and ensure that human rights standards are met.
