She revealed that there will be full-time judges specifically assigned to work directly on cases that have to do with prison inmates which prisons officers won’t even be aware of. The CJ indicated that her office has already set up the process and it will start in January. “But from time to time there will be proper monitoring. Of course in the places where we have the court attached to the prisons, that’s on a daily basis and some of the existing prison courts, there will be full-time judges now assigned who will be there every day to do normal high court work but only with regard to prison inmates, even the prison officers will not have access to that,” she added.
