Fifty-one inmates, all presumed to be members of the George Street and Ghost Town gangs, were discharged from the Belize Central Prison on Wednesday night and returned to Belize City. Upon their arrival, they were escorted to the Queen Street Police Station where they reportedly met with Deputy Commissioner of Police Chester Williams and Dianne Finnegan, who spoke with them prior to their release. The men had been held in detention during the month of September for a period of thirty days while a state of emergency had been declared in those respective communities. Tonight, we get a firsthand perspective from two individuals who maintain that their basic rights have been violated as a result of the public declaration. News Five’s Isani Cayetano reports.

We do the same thing here in California the feds call it gang sanctions basically it consist of rounding up gang Bangerz or those who commits crimes of such meaning low crime so high crimes the main purpose of this sweep it's not only to bring peace to the neighborhood but in America we call it gentrification meaning we have other folks that want to invest in the neighborhood but they cannot do it due to the fact of the violence and crimes that are going on throughout the United States I'm just saying you don't have to take my word for it but I'm just letting you know what's getting ready to happen a lot of people are wanting or want to make investments in Belize but due to the high crime in the homicides they're unable to do so
