Inmate on the run

Bomana Correctional Institute is appealing to citizens to report any sighting of the escapee.

Moses Maina escaped from the Port Moresby General Hospital on 23 May after he was taken there for medical treatment on orders of the National Court.

Bomana Correctional Institute Commander, Haraha Kiddy Keko, said the inmate is still on the run and has appealed to citizens to report to either CS or police if they do sight Maina.

The Commander can be contacted on 7212 0579 and 7660 7100. 

An order for his apprehension has also been issued by the District Court.

Prisoners tell of experiences behind bars

Twenty maximum high risk prisoners, 18 men and 2 females from Bomana Correctional Institute in conjunction with PNG Settlement Community People’s Foundation Inc gave their experiences and testimonies of what life was like behind bars and high fences.

The program kicked off last week at 9 mile, where under CS escort, the prisoners were allowed to step out to the public and speak about social issues affecting and happening every day in the communities.
