Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The Seychelles Prison Service (SPS), under the leadership of Commissioner Raymond St Ange, is gearing up to celebrate Nelson Mandela Day, observed internationally on July 18 each year.<\/p>\n

The SPS has used the occasion to further communicate its work and progress to date as it continues to align and ensure its operations to the internationally recognised \u2018Nelson Mandela Rules\u2019 for the humane treatment of prisoners, a UN minimum standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be our seventh year consecutive since we launched this initiative,\u201d said Elsa Nourrice, Principal Probation Officer and Head of the SPS Psychosocial Support and Rehabilitation Department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis time we will be holding a roundtable of invited guests, representing various backgrounds, to discuss prison operations, and our 2024 – 2029 strategic plan,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The work and direction of the SPS becomes ever more critical as dynamics change within the country impacted by the effects of illicit drugs and the addiction caused and as a result distressing communities.<\/p>\n
