The prison facilities in Kingstown and Belle Isle are expected to receive some attention this year.
Plans are afoot to effect some much needed electrical, plumbing and structural work at the facilities. Our prison system was the unfortunate focus of attention last year when two dangerous criminals briefly escaped from Her Majesty’s Prisons. They were subsequently reprehended without endangering the public,” Minister of Finance Camillo Gonsalves said in the 2021 Budget address.
