Identified as Adelburt Daniel, the BCF says he caused widespread disruption.

“Upon examination, the said resident was referred to the Mental Wellness Centre for further care. As customary, the resident was restrained and placed in an escort vehicle for conveyance to the medical institution. However, before leaving the facility, his aggressive behaviour began again. His aggression was transferred to the vehicle to the extent that he managed to destroy the metal security bars inside the vehicle and break the back windscreen,” correspondence from the BCF explained.

Daniel was then conveyed back to his cell to compose himself but continued to disobey the commands of the officers present. Soon, he became a danger to himself and had to be restrained.

“One round of less-lethal munition was discharged in the direction of the said resident, but did not hit the him. However, he failed to cooperate. A second and third round of munition was discharged which hit the resident who continued to behave aggressively. A fourth round of munition was discharged and officers gained the resident’s compliance.”

Daniel was immediately subdued and escorted to the Medical Unit where was treated for injuries sustained from the munitions. He was also treated for his initial condition by the doctor and conveyed to the Mental Wellness Center where he received care and was discharged.

Officers of the BCF benefited from additional resources given by the government in 2023. The fencing of the prison and other security apparatus has been updated after years of neglect.
