Published 10 May 2017

Basseterre, St. Kitts, May 10, 2017 (SKNIS): Prime Minister, Dr. the Honourable Timothy Harris and Minister of Gender Affairs and Social Services, Honourable Wendy Phipps, have revealed the government’s plans to strengthen the ongoing rehabilitation programme for those incarcerated at Her Majesty’s Prison (HMP) during the Prime Minister’s monthly press conference on May 10, 2017.

Prime Minister Harris stated that the government is in the process of recruiting an individual with interests and knowledge in forensic psychology to work with residents at the prison.

Minister Phipps said that over the years a number of persons in the public “who are civic minded” have been contributing to the rehabilitation of prisoners from an educational standpoint, that is, getting them ready to join the workforce after their period of incarceration has ended.

“What the Department of Gender Affairs and Social Services is now doing, in part with Junie Hodge, Superintendent of Prisons, is in terms of a more structured buildout when it comes to educational development of the inmates,” she said.
