The Cox’s Bazar District Prison Hospital has allegedly turned into a luxury rest house for yaba drug dealers, while critically ill prisoners are deprived of medical care. Reports suggest that securing a hospital bed requires an upfront payment of BDT 20,000, followed by a monthly fee of BDT 15,000-20,000 to prison officials. Currently, 40-45 yaba traders are reportedly enjoying a comfortable stay at the facility in exchange for bribes. The same applies to political leaders, where top figures must pay BDT 50,000, and lower-level leaders BDT 20,000-30,000, to secure hospital beds. Those forced to stay on the floor must pay BDT 10,000 monthly. The corruption is allegedly being overseen by prison chief Abu Musa, who also faces accusations of torture.
