Prisoners Attend Gard Center Courses
Lieutenant Colonel Trevor Pennyfeather, Superintendent of His Majesty’s Prison, is pushing for rehabilitation programs at the facility to become mandatory.
During a recent interview on state media, he highlighted the success of such programs, referencing Mellanson Harrison, a Barbudan convicted of the 1994 Challenger yacht murders, who was granted early release in 2016 after 30 years of incarceration.
Pennyfeather stressed that early release decisions should focus on rehabilitation rather than good behavior alone and has raised this issue with the Attorney General.
He also emphasized the importance of inmates’ mental and spiritual rehabilitation alongside skill development. Harrison’s co-accused, Marvin Joseph, remains in prison.
