The Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment (MESA) is setting up a Board of Enquiry to investigate the escape of convicts from prison.

Vice-President James Michel, who made the announcement in the weekly Tête-à-tête radio programme on Sunday September 21, said the Board would carry out an official investigation at the prison to determine how convicts escape from Long Island.

With the formation of the Board of Enquiry the authorities who are responsible for the prison would account for the escape of prisoners.

Two convicts, namely Lambert Laurette and Antoine Joubert who are known to be dangerous, are still on the run after they escaped from Long Island two weeks ago.
