Before they raid the prisons, they should first investigate how these drugs and Cell Phones get into the prison premises.

Install signal jammers inside the prison and ban mobile usage to prison officers.

Mr Minister, Send MERWYN SILVA or DUMINDA SIVA or BOTH SILVAS to the prison. Then you can get a netter report..

A bird whisper that Borella Police is behind the attack since there was no body selected from BP to raid the prison.

This unfortunate incident shows how much certain sections of our society hate the police force. The police wont get much sympathy from the public as long as they are being used as pawns of politicians.

When politically backed drug lords can give new cars as bribes, will inquiries work?

According to COPE report, the real criminals are still in public, people who couldn't afford a fine of 2000 Rs go to jail, same with corrupted police officers. It seems the prisoners are worried about this and rioting now.

This appears to be some sort of drug bust, they are looking for drugs at the wrong place without going after the drug Kingpins. This is a sure way of creating a drug monopoly.

Why you need any report on this? You think prisoners have right to assault the police?

Eliminating drug menace from every nook and corner is most welcome, but has to be done in a more organised manner to avoid such incidents.

Drugs in prison?? You must be joking! Maybe the Welikada Complex has been converted into a Holiday Resort (Woodstock Style) and the Police were not informed about it.

Why can't we install CCTV system to monitor what's going on inside the prision. This is the best way to track corrupted guards and prisoners links and their businesses.
