Inmate caught with cannabis plants in prison cell
A 29 year-old Maltese inmate is under investigation after three cannabis plants were discovered inside his cell at Corradino prisons.
The discovery - confirmed by prison director Abraham Zammit - was made yesterday during a routine inspection.
The plants were found in Division 3 but no official report was released by the police or the home affairs ministry.
MaltaToday is also informed that a number of inmates have been recently entertained to a 'dinner' with prison warders.
According to the prison director, the dinner was a "one off" occasion where inmates and warders celebrated the end of a project.
MaltaToday recently reported that a veteran prison warder has been suspended from duty and is awaiting a hearing for dismassal before the Public Service Commission, after it was discovered that he was the administrator of a company set up by the son of released double-murderer Charles Muscat, 'il-Pips'.
