Her Majesty’s Prison in St. Kitts is now equipped with much needed sanitation supplies and personal protective equipment to further ensure the safety of staff and residents.
St. Kitts and Nevis were among 12 territories in the region to receive the supplies through a donation from the Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS).
The donation was airlifted to the Federation on May 27, by the Regional Security Service (RSS) and included one box of KN95 and surgical masks, seven boxes of gloves, two boxes of hazmat suits, five bottles of bleach, 10 buckets of hand sanitizer, 10 boxes of disinfectant, 25 boxes of soap and 25 face shields with an additional 25 to be sent at a later date.
The donations were made possible by a grant from the British High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago.
Commissioner of Corrections, Terrance James, thanked IMPACS for their timely donation of these much-needed supplies.
“On behalf of the government and people of the Federation, staff and inmates at Her Majesty’s Prison, I want to say thank you to IMPACS for coordinating this whole drive of delivering these equipment to the various countries around the region to assist them in fighting the COVID-19,” said James.
He also disclosed that the request for these supplies was made through a Head of Prisons and Commissioner of Corrections video conference held on March 25, where the representatives discussed the possible effects of the pandemic on the correctional facility systems in the region.
Acting Executive Director of Caricom IMPACS, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Jones, thanked the RSS and the British High Commission for their assistance in procuring and delivering the supplies.
“Essentially, as you will see, the motto of the COVID pandemic is that ‘We are all in this together’ and so we sought some assistance from the British High Commission in Trinidad which gave us a grant funding that we can make these contributions, not only to St. Kitts, but [to] 12 members within Caricom throughout the region. So, on their behalf, it was a pleasure to work along with RSS to make this delivery here in St. Kitts,” he said.
Lady Gaga: The American people are very racist, and the stupid racist Donald Trump offers nothing but ignorance and prejudice, and no understanding of the ongoing racism of the corrupt system that has been killing blacks for hundreds of years. “I have a lot to say about it, but the first thing I want to say is that I’m afraid that anything I say will make me more angry, although that’s exactly how I feel. I don’t want to help more violence, I want to help a solution. I am so saddened by the death of George Floyd that I have been saddened by the over-killing of blacks over the last hundred years, and all this is the result of constant racism and corrupt systems, and I am outraged by all this. The voice of the black community has been silenced for a long time. As a result of this silence, we are in a deadly time and place, and it doesn’t matter what blacks do to protest, because the people of the United States are still very racist, that’s a fact. Now is a critical time to support the black community. We have known for a long time that Trump has failed. He has the most powerful system in the world, but he still offers nothing but ignorance and prejudice, while the lives of blacks continue as before. We know he is stupid and racist. He belongs to a system drowning in racism. Now is the time to change. I urge people to speak softly and inspire each other and understand the importance of showing our love for each other instead of hurting each other and killing the people we love. I am a white woman. “I swear by the skin to stand by the blacks.” https://www.newsweek.com/lady-gaga-calls-trump-racist-fool-1507654
