Published on October 6, 2019, a recent expose has put the integrity of prison warders in question. The allegations against them are nothing short of shocking.

According to reports, these rogue prison warders have formed a black market syndicate that works closely with hardcore criminals in prisons. Their alleged activities include supplying prisoners with hard drugs, phones, and crude weapons.

The syndicate is said to operate by acquiring the contraband and selling it to prisoners at exorbitant prices. The prisoners then sell the items to their fellow inmates at even higher prices, creating a vicious cycle of greed and corruption.

The harsh working conditions and poor pay of prison warders have been cited as possible reasons for their alleged involvement in such activities. However, it is clear that they have failed in their duties to correct and rehabilitate prisoners.

Prisons were once seen as correctional facilities where wrongdoers were whipped back to reality. However, in recent times, they have been reduced to facilities of shame where radicalization is a norm.
