Monrovia – Two civil society organizations have donated medical supplies worth over US$8,000 to the Bureau of Corrections and Rehabilitation to provide medical care for prisoners during the COVID-19 pandemic. The implementing organizations are Serving Humanity for Empowerment and Development (SHED) and Rural Human Rights Activist Program (RHRAP). Accepting the items, Edwin McGill, Director of Prisons of the BCR said the donation of the medical supplies was “very timely”. “The nurses are excited that you’ve been a help to making their daily work at prisons easier,” Davis said. Meanwhile, SHED and RHRAP are hopeful that protecting the lives of inmates will be prioritized by both the Government of Liberia, partners and all Liberians.
