Corrections Commissioner Francis Kean discussed several key issues: the expansion of Nasinu and Suva cemeteries with 25,000 and 15,000 burial plots respectively, the frequent discovery of contraband such as drugs and mobile phones in prisons, and the demolition of old prison blocks at Suva Corrections Centre to construct a new facility for 600 inmates, aiming to reduce overcrowding. Measures include the use of body scanners and canine units to prevent contraband smuggling.
