Justice Minister Delroy Chuck has admitted that there is a failure in the system after so many years of similar cases popping up.
At the same time, the correctional services don’t have the facilities or personnel to properly deal with these mentally unfit persons,” he told The Gleaner yesterday.
Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of National Security Matthew Samuda said that an audit of the DCS is on the cards.
“The ministry will not only look at the way forward by examining the findings of the INDECOM report, but it will be ordering an audit of operations, which concerns how the DCS interacts with our court system,” Samuda said.
The Jamaica Psychiatric Association yesterday added its voice to calls for a review of Chambers’ case, along with the 146 other cases referenced by INDECOM.
