Chickenpox Outbreak Raises Alarm in Maximum Security Prison

The Prison Officers Association has raised concerns over recent chickenpox outbreak at the Maximum Security Prison (MSP). The General Secretary stated that the outbreak, now under investigation, puts into question the health and safety measures in place within the prison. The Association warned about the risks posed by outbreaks in enclosed settings like MSP, affecting not only the inmates but also the prison officers who are at risk of carrying the disease home. While chickenpox is often viewed as manageable, the Secretary highlighted the risk of rapid spreading due to overcrowding and limited isolation facilities. The Association has urged for stronger health monitoring, better communication, and stricter enforcement of medical protocols, emphasizing the need for better preparedness to manage health incidents within the prison system.
