Jun 04, 2011 News

The persons who will be manning the Guyana Prison Service’s Sentence Management Board have been announced with the Chairman’s position going to Captain Gerald Gouveia.
The first meeting of the Sentence Management Board was convened immediately following the formal launch of the Board by the Minister of Home Affairs, Hon. Clement J. Rohee on May 31, last. The other members of the Sentence Management Board are Dale Erskine, DSM, Director of Prisons; Rev. Fay Clarke, MS; Officer-in-Charge, Training, Welfare and Corrections, Guyana Prison Service; Ms. Sylvia Conway, Lecturer/Social Worker; Mr. Ayube Mohamed, Chairman, Inter-Prison Visiting Committee; Mr. Forbes Munroe, Assistant Chief Probation and Social Services Officer; and Ms. Yojna Hernandez, Personal Assistant to the Minister of Home Affairs.
In a statement issued by the Board, the board will begin working on its agenda with immediate effect. In view of the unprecedented nature of the Sentence Management Board, it has been agreed that an orientation process will be embarked on.
This process will be most specifically for the benefit of the members who are not directly connected to the Guyana Prison Service.
In addition a series of meetings will be convened with key stakeholders, while visits will be paid to the five prison locations, Camp Street, Lusignan, Timehri, Mazaruni and New Amsterdam.
According to the statement issued by the board, already members are enthusiastic about fulfilling their mandate. They look forward to building on the systems already in place in the Guyana Prison Service, and bring about positive changes for the benefit of inmates, and, indeed, the Guyana Prison Service, and the society, at large.
The Board is of the view that there are persons within the prisons who can be transformed, with the right intervention, and returned to society to lead productive lives.
