Children Of Inmates Still Meeting Them In Prison, PN MP Says

Taking to social media, Nationalist MP Darren Carabott highlighted how, despite Malta having an already set up building aiming at family-friendly encounters between children and their guardians in prison, there are still cases where kids are meeting them at Malta’s prison.

MP Carabott said that this should not be the case as we should, as a society, work to safeguard and give children the tools they need to grow and prosper.

Whatever the guardians did to end up in prison, Carabott argued, the kids are innocent. He said that he’s seen this system work abroad and that this could be the case in Malta.

He urged the Minister responsible to ensure that this is the case with all kids meeting their guardians who may be in prison.

Even the guards in prisons abroad, Carabott said, are dressed in day-to-day clothing so that the kids can relax and play with their parents during the visit.
