Prisons Dept proposes to set up commercial arm

The Prisons Department is proposing to set up a commercial arm in future to utilise the 1,000 acres of land around the Naboro prison complex.

Deputy Prison Commissioner Auta Moceisuva revealed this to members of the Lau provincial council after touring Naboro prison yesterday which was done as a means of strengthening the relationship between inmates and their families after they serve their term in prison.

Moceisuva said they hope that the Prisons Department will not rely on government for financial assistance if the project is successful.
