BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, May 2, 2017 (PLP PR Media Inc.) — Prime Minister of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, Dr the Hon Timothy Harris, on Sunday April 30 paid homage to Her Majesty Prison officers and visiting Justices of Peace of HM Prisons, at an awards service held in their honour at the Immanuel Methodist Church in Sandy Point.
Dr Harris, who is also the Minister of National Security, said his government appreciated prison officers’ work and the country should do likewise because they add value to what is happening in the country’s prisons.
Turning to the visiting Justices of Peace of HM Prisons, Prime Minister Harris said they bring an external view to ensure that justice is not only being done but through the eyes of the general public it is seen to be done.
“I want to join the Superintendent of Prisons, Mr Junie Hodge, in offering congratulations and commendations to all who are serving in Her Majesty Prison Service,” said the Prime Minister. “The police bring them (offenders) to justice and he is expected to provide them protection and rehabilitation under the watch of Her Majesty’s Prison.”
