The country’s first prison facility built in line with international standards at Angunukolapelessa, Hambantota is to be declared open on today.
The prison which is known as the ‘Super Prison’ among the public due to its luxury features made headlines in view of its special features.
The prison facility which was built at an estimated cost of Rupees 9.5 billion on a 65-hectare land was to be opened with the participation of President Maithripala Sirisena on March 16 this year but was postponed as the President had later declined the invitation.
