This is the legislative framework for the GPS which establishes the key parameters that include the articulation of the management structure of the Prisons as well as the main powers and responsibilities of the Director of Prisons.
The prisons operate under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Home Affairs. Under the Prison Act, Cap 11:01 Laws of Guyana, the Minister has powers that present an oversight framework for ensuring that the GPS functions effectively.
