The Hon. Mujibur Rahuman
Mujibur Rahuman raised concerns that detainees are being held for years without Government Analyst’s reports, preventing bail and contributing to prison overcrowding. He also questioned whether a concrete rehabilitation programme exists for drug-addicted youth in prison to support their reintegration into society and prevent further criminalization.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, notably, there are detainees held for years without GA reports and thus denied bail, which exacerbates overcrowding. Further, many youths addicted to drugs are imprisoned without effective in-prison rehabilitation. Is there a concrete programme to ensure they return to society rehabilitated, rather than becoming more criminalized?
