The Sunday afternoon fiery uprising at the Georgetown Prison, which allowed for the escape of about five inmates and has left the Lot 12 Camp Street almost flattened, has left in its wake officials desperately trying to relocate hundred of prisoners. However this ordeal has also affected the smooth operation of several businesses in the capital city.
In fact some of them have kept their doors closed.
