Truly enjoyed watching this wish we had more of this journalism around

[@marleneboyce2691]

Basically it was a good interview but I wanted to see more like where the maximum security is and so forth, well documented.

[@djl6158]

Proud of ya Faith, glad to see the circumstances haven’t broken your spirit.

[@izlandsisterztv8792]

I’m impressed a prison that’s actually serving its purpose…Rehabilitation 👏👏

[@platnumj]

The purpose of a Prison is NOT Rehabilitation. It is literally to hold persons captive or in isolation from the general public, for the safety of the general public. It's also a punishment for crimes committed.

[@sophiajackson2180]

Barbados prison have good qualities for the wicked...and the evil..very good skill training aswel.facts..

[@adobeabrathwaite6892]

It is ironic that a place where you loose your freedom is called a 'beacon of excellence'.

Great job!!! Would love to see more of these types of videos.

[@gogsiboy4921]

Well if its so nice ,go their😁

[@user-bp8gz4ss6p]

Don't let them fool you . This is fake and put on for a video . Only people that get the benefits of these activities are people doing time . What about the people on remand for 10 ,11 years? They do not have the benefits of the time prisoners . Reform my ass. The prison Is very dirty don't be fooled .

Not bad and I am very impressed with the video,

[@winniethomas2737]

Senior inmates might have someone to impart to younger ones. That helps rehabilitation as well

[@floydgreaves3474]

Very impressive interview sharing there knowledge about the prison system. Thanks!

[@randyfredrick1565]

well understood

[@Audimartini]

Great video but change the narration is it a news report or a short film?

[@dwaynethomas4655]

Antigua needs a proper prison like this one, we have the land but not the government.

[@user-bp8gz4ss6p]

Don't let this video fool you .

[@cherylharewood2549]

@@user-bp8gz4ss6p that prison is exactly what it is said to be. The old prison was disgusting and the inmates burned it down.

[@cherylharewood2549]

@dwaynethomas4655 the prison is exactly what it is said to be.

[@winniethomas2737]

Clearly the officers well-being is just as important as the rehabilitation of the inmates. Human beings end up in prison for one reason or another...

[@AnthonyJarrett84]

Jamaica too

[@nickroachmuzic]

Well done Mishron

This present looks more tougher the most of the prisons in the United Kingdom

[@claudiashakes4536]

Wish Jamaica would take a page from this of knowing how to treat their prisoners. They abused them

[@user-vo8fb4ld5n]

Mr Scantlebury,so true.

[@bajnnewyorker6248]

Well done Michron and Jessie

[@mastaswitchy]

Y'all Bajans would know now what people tell wunna bout dodds is bc❤❤w vid

[@illumikami4074]

Y’all can be fooled by this but they just made sure the prison looked good on camera what happens off screen is disgusting and inhumane. I was incarcerated here and it was the worst experience of my life there rehabilitation program doesn’t exist you’re just left to suffer and fend for yourself. No officer cares for you in here and if they do they’re the 1 in 100.

[@thirdworldrider6991]

what you did?

[@johnsealy4909]

Good job Michron

[@juliehoward2623]

Excellent

[@S.S635]

Do a police interview next

[@love4lust7301]

That's a very clean prison. 🤔

[@user-xt6xg4zo5z]

I did not want to comment on this because I did time in this very same prison, in there your treated like and animals 97 persent of the population got a diet we use to call the (1 3 1)1bread and unsweetened tea in the morning, lunch time you get 6oz of food 5 days out of the week it was rice and(tuna water) Mr pain is not who he is pretending to be they had a few officers you could talk to and speak about life and how to improve it's qualities the guy scndleberry the inmate I've met him talked with him and I could say he has changed,David Oliver is changing still I won't speak on him ,the living conditions in there for COVID-19 I will need a podcast to speak about it I'm 11min into this vid and I can't believe how many lies are told in the short documentary

[@kaushikiespinoza4035]

Wuh jail real Pretty there

[@maxineclarke2562]

I don’t like that the interviewer is not asking any questions as they go alone!

[@claudiashakes4536]

Those persons can be pardoned now for good behavior

[@kevinjoseph6945]

did time from there 24/02/2012 - 15/04/2013

[@claudiashakes4536]

You know I would like to understand y some countries don’t have forgiveness

[@phanatixtawkshow169]

It is definitely one of the best if not the best in the Caribbean. Jamaica prison is inhumane it's like a dungeon or under ship where the slaves were

[@user-vo8fb4ld5n]

I feel sirry for David Oliver.

[@candisjeffrey1034]

They have to move Remand yard from the capital. And in these modern times that old building was not built to hold the capacity it is at today.

They have to get a government like us first !!
