NATIONS INC has donated 15 computers, monitors and keyboards to the Guyana Prison Service, as part of a 20-month Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) contract to assist with the rehabilitation of the Guyana prisons.

Nations, which has been awarded the contract, has undertaken a series of training programmes for the prison staff and inmates at all of the prisons in Guyana. This includes training in technology, computing, literacy, counselling, art, music and entrepreneurship.

A team of local and overseas consultants are facilitating the programme.

The overseas consultants include an internationally-known psychologist from the UK, a 20-year prison warden veteran from Ireland, a prominent rap artist from Canada, an expert in robotics and a widely exhibited artist from London, Ontario.
