Who let the guns in!

Elderly inmates should be separated from all prisoners because of their old age, mobility has slowed down and for their safety. A small hospital should be built among the correction facilities to treat senior inmates with medical problems and those who are bedridden.

The medical housing facility should then be run by caregivers, nuns, nurses, and medical doctors should visit every week to check on all the elderly inmates.

Nurses should be there daily to check on the vitals of these elderly inmates – like high blood pressure, diabetes, oxygen levels, heat beat, asthma, etc.

The slow and steady deterioration, from poor maintenance of many FSC (formerly CSR & SPSM) homes in Lautoka, are a real sorry sight.

Once very pleasant spacious homes to admire during the 1960s and 1970s, these proud homes of the good old yester-years are now almost dilapidated.

It is high time Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji (CAAF) must stand firm, place some stringent measures to combat such occurrences in future. it
