Persons were denied providing meals to their loved ones being held in police custody at the Negril lock-up in Westmoreland on Sunday.
Videos obtained show several angry female citizens bemoaning the actions of the police to not allow the food being delivered, and allowing any visitors at the lockup.
“Dem wicked!” Screamed one upset woman, who recoreded the happenings outside the lockup.
“Murder the police dem a beat di prisoners dem round deh!” Shouted another woman outside the station.
It is not immediately clear why the police have taken these actions.
However, since the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), the Department of Correctional Services (DCS) have put a hault on all visitations at the island’s prisons to prevent the virus from affecting its prisoners.
It is not clear if the same procedure applies to the police station lockups.
