Ex-warder reveals secret dealings in prisons

In an interview with Mmegi yesterday Motukwa, who was in the dock on Monday with three others for the murder of his father Motlhankana in Ntlhantlhe in 2008, did what amounts to spilling the beans. After working for the Department of Prisons and Rehabilitation as a warder from 2006 to 2008, he said that he has seen it all and people could be killed inside prisons.

But he says he experienced the worst when he was arrested for the murder in October 2008 serving almost two years at Lobatse prison. He went through hell until the time when he tasted freedom three weeks ago, he claims.
