Despite securing places at public universities, some inmates in Malawi will not walk out of prison immediately as the Malawi Prison Service (MPS) says lawful procedures must first be followed. The Service has clarified that some inmates who were selected to pursue tertiary education at various public universities are still in custody. Speaking to the press, an MPS spokesperson explained that selection does not equate to an automatic release. The statement aims to clear up public confusion and reaffirm that all releases must comply with legal requirements.
