The Prison Officers Sports Club on Camp Street was the venue for the Orientation Session and Gym Management Seminar that was conducted by Flex Night Inc. on Saturday morning. The objective of the session was to sensitise those Staff and Inmates identified to be Gym Instructors and Administrators in the Prison Gym, to the essential features of gym management. The participants, drawn from the five Prison locations in Guyana, were welcomed by Officer-in-Charge
of the Georgetown Prison, Senior Superintendent of Prisons Mr. Carl Graham. The event was then declared open by the Director of Prisons, Mr. Dale Erskine, who thanked Flex Night Inc. for its diligence and professionalism in advancing this project which he observed would be of immense benefit to the Staff and Inmates and an enhancement of the image of the Prison service.
He also commended the Demerara Mutual Life Assurance Society Ltd. for coming on board to sponsor the acquisition of equipment.
The participants unanimously adopted the name Republicans Flex-In as the name for the new gym. Candidates identified to be Gym Instructors and Administrators were then presented with Training Manuals which were compiled by Diane Sinclair, ISSA-Certified Fitness Trainer and Nutrition Consultant.
An interactive Seminar was then facilitated by Donald Sinclair, Managing Director of Flex Night Inc. which allowed both Staff and Inmates the opportunity to share ideas on the matters of gym security, maintenance, quality customer care and professional self-improvement.
Those chosen to be Gym Administrators are Superintendent of Prisons Kevin Pilgrim and Cadet Officer Deoraj Gyandat. Gym Instructors identified are Assistant Superintendent of Prisons Olivia Cox; Cadet Officer Roddy Denheart; Prison Officer II Sean Charles; Martin Rajmangal; Devon Limerick and Keith Roberts.
Training sessions continue on May 18, 24 and 30 respectively and the formal commissioning of the gym is expected to take place in June.
