Partners of prisoners who visit them at the Corradino Correctional Facility are allowed to take in condoms with them, Home Affairs and National Security Minister Manwel Mallia told Parliament.
Nationalist MP Charlo Bonnici asked what precautions are taken to control the spread of sexually transmitted diseases among prisoners.
In his reply, Dr Mallia said that each time extended visits take place, the partners of prisoners are allowed to take in condoms with them.
