Vaccinating inmates will protect society from possible COVID-19 outbreaks as a result of overcrowding in prisons, according to Justice and Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola.
Just over 140,000 inmates across the country are set to receive the jab by 6 August.
The country has only just started vaccinating 35 to 49-year-olds.
All 140,319 prisoners will get the chance to have the jab, regardless of age.
Lamola has defended the programme.
