PRISON OFFICERS WARN CYPRUS JAIL SYSTEM IS NEARING COLLAPSE IN PLEA TO PRESIDENT - KNews 7/7

Union says staff are being left alone with up to 120 inmates during night shifts as overcrowding and understaffing worsen.


Prison officers have appealed directly to President Nikos Christodoulides, warning that Cyprus' prison system is nearing breaking point and claiming staff safety is being placed at unacceptable risk because of overcrowding and severe staff shortages.

In a letter also sent to the Minister of Justice and Public Order, the prison officers' branch of the ISOTITA trade union says repeated attempts to secure talks with the ministry have gone unanswered, leaving them with no option but to seek the President's personal intervention.
