STATEMENT REFUTING ARTICLE ON PRISON FARM IN NEVIS

The management of Her Majesty’s Prison (HMP) has seen, with great disappointment, an article published online making false claims about an incident at the Prison Farm in Nevis on Saturday,

October 26, 2019. Given the inaccurate information contained in the article, it is apparent that it was deliberately written with the intent to deceive the public. The Commissioner of Corrections was never contacted before the malicious statement was issued. As a result, the management of HMP

publicly denounces this malicious report to portray the Prison system in a less than favourable light.
