The Fiji Corrections Service has announced that the two inmates who were on hunger strikes at the Maximum Security Corrections Facility last week have returned to eating regular meals.
In a recent statement, the FCS indicated that a medical team assessed the inmates to ensure they were in stable physical condition after their hunger strikes. The organization emphasized that the well-being of the inmates is a top priority, and they are closely monitoring their recovery.
The FCS remains dedicated to its fundamental mission of ensuring safe, secure, and humane treatment for all offenders in their care. This includes a focus on the physical and mental health of every inmate, achieved through routine medical evaluations and constant access to healthcare services.
The statement further expressed gratitude for the ongoing support from the public and stakeholders in the rehabilitation and management of offenders, reaffirming the commitment to maintaining high standards of care and safety across all facilities.
