"No statements can be issued by prison inmates," he said when met by the media after the opening of an exhibition, "Menjangkau Abad Dinding Penjara", by the State Women's Affairs, Family Development and Welfare Committee chairman Datuk Kalsom Nordin here today.
He said even letters or documents from inmates to their families would be screened by the department first before they were sent out.
"The Prisons Department has nothing to do with politics and we discharge our responsibilities regardless of the ruling government," he added.
