BRITISH High Commissioner to Guyana, Jane Miller, on Monday, visited the female prison at New Amsterdam, where she interacted with inmates and officers.
According to a press release from the Guyana Prison Service (GPS), the High Commissioner was also briefed on the robust rehabilitation programme that was being offered at that location. It ranged from yoga and anger management to computer skills, sewing, and culinary arts.

Officer-in-charge of the prison, Senior Superintendent (ag), Kofi David, expressed gratitude to the High Commissioner for the visit, adding that the GPS is looking forward to continued goodwill, friendship, and co-operation, the release said.

He also affirmed the GPS’s commitment to the provision of inmate rehabilitation initiatives and programmes that equip them for successful re-entry into society.
The visit was well received by inmates, who treated the High Commissioner to several songs and a very amusing drama, illustrating the challenges and misinformation contained in social media.
