The funds were given in response to a pledge made by the Correctional Service (CS) during a fundraising dinner hosted by the National Library and Archives earlier this month.
Presenting the cheque was Correctional Service Acting Commissioner, Michael Mosiri.
“We are happy to have a connection with the National Library and Archives. In a way, we want to help bring knowledge into correctional institutions by setting up libraries within the institutions, to help educate our prison population with the knowledge that they cannot acquire through other means except by reading.”
