It says locking up MCO offenders poses danger to other inmates and lockup staff. FMTNews NGO Covid19
An NGO has appealed to the police and attorney-general to revert to issuing compound fines for those flouting the stay-at-home order.
“Introducing new people to lockups puts prior detainees and all lockup staff at risk of contracting the virus,” it said in a statement today. “The figure should be zero because laws require lockups to admit only people who are well enough to be detained, whether for one day or 28 nights,” it added. “Lawyers must travel to meet their clients and prepare their cases. This is not good because such movement is contrary to the intent of the MCO,” it added.
