Monrovia – The Bureau of Corrections and Rehabilitation (BCR) has confiscated over L$2 million worth of narcotics from inmates at the Monrovia Central Prison in Monrovia. The drugs were confiscated from inmates during the BCR’s vigorous search and lockdown exercise at the various prison facilities in the country. “We can assure you that in the shortest possible time, we will have a robust drugs law to ensure that we succeed because we notice that the traffickers take advantage of the drugs law, the weakness of the drugs law, and the poorer borders.”Zehyoue:” Once we have a robust drugs law, the traffickers will be prosecuted, and given maximum sentences. So, we want to amend some provisions within the drugs law because the current drugs law is bailable, but we want the law to be nonbailable. The existing drugs law is impeding our work because it is bailable.”
