After the Malir jail break, the police department is also ready to make a second entry into the prison department. After the Khairpur incident, a proposal has been made to appoint SSPs as superintendents in dangerous prisons. According to informed sources, the issue of prisoners escaping from Malir jail had opened doors for the police in the prison department. Earlier, senior officers were being appointed to positions from the prison department itself. However, after the Malir jail break, officers from big positions including the IG jail were removed and then the police entered the prison department. Fida Hussain Mastoi was appointed as the IG prisons. After the Malir jail break and then the death of a prisoner in a firing inside the jail in Khairpur, the senior officials have been forced to take big decisions on the issue of dangerous prisons. Sources say that a proposal has been made to appoint SSPs who play an important role in field operations as prison superintendents, while the second proposal has appointed civil officers. However, the police department and the prison department are uniformed forces, but how can civil officers be appointed in the prison department? In this regard, experts say that it is possible to deploy any uniformed forces in the prison department, but it is not possible to deploy any civil officer. Reports are that soon a list of SSPs who are of grade 19 or senior to grade 18 are going to be compiled from the police, who are likely to be appointed as prison superintendents.
