What do they do?
The department Of Corrections will:
- Strive to maintain high standards of security as this is essential to the safe operation of our facilities.
- Provide a humane but demanding regime, aimed at reducing re-offending behaviors by presenting inmates with a range of rehabilitative opportunities in which reward is linked to their institutional behavior and performance (incentives and earned privileges), to prepare for life after release.
- Aims to have robust and disciplined regimes and systems in place in order to achieve operation efficiency at all levels.
The Department of Corrections manages the following correctional facilities across the island:
- Westgate Correctional Facility.
- Prison Farm.
- St. George’s Co-Educational Facility.
- The Right Living House.
In addition to maintaining the correctional facilities, the department works with individual inmates toward rehabilitation into society upon release.
