Director of Prisons, Nicklon Elliot, emphasized the transformative impact of government funding on prison rehabilitation during his end-of-year muster and general inspection of officers at the Prisons headquarters on Monday.
Elliot asserted that creating correctional facilities that prioritize self-improvement and personal growth is essential for effective rehabilitation. To this end, he noted that the government is implementing architectural changes aimed at fostering environments that promote learning, creativity, and reflection among inmates.
Looking ahead, Elliot outlined a commitment to holistic rehabilitation efforts within the prison system, along with enhanced support for the reintegration of prisoners into society. He stressed the importance of collaboration with community partners, the private sector, family support networks, government ministries, and law enforcement agencies to ensure the success of these initiatives.
Elliot also underscored the need for prison officers to actively contribute to realizing the government’s vision, as ongoing efforts to rebuild prison infrastructure and strengthen security are undertaken nationwide.
Meanwhile, Acting Deputy Director of Prisons Kevin Pilgrim highlighted the crucial role that officer training plays in the overall effectiveness of the service.
