The Home Affairs Ministry has announced that Robert Brincau will be assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer of the Correctional Services Agency as well as acting prison director. This comes after former prison head Alexander Dalli’s self-suspension following the suicide of yet another prison inmate last night.
Brincau currently heads Malta’s Detention service and, in the past months, also implemented a number of key changes in the security and welfare sectors. The new prison head has had managerial experience and served for a number of years in the Malta Red Cross, the organisation which aims to prevent human suffering by “improving the situation of the most vulnerable individuals in society without any discrimination.”
Brincau was appointed by Minister for home Affairs, Law Enforcement and National Security Byron Camilleri in the midst of national concern towards the Corradino Correctional Facility and worries of unsatisfactory inmate conditions.
Do you welcome Brincau’s appointment as prison head?
