Press barred from prison inquiry

THE PRELIMINARY INQUIRY into charges arising out of the burning of Glendairy Prisons continued yesterday minus the Press. On Monday the special court presided over by Magistrate Deborah Holder got under way in a section of the prison at Station Hill, St Michael. That session was opened to the Press, but yesterday when a news team turned up, warders at the gate said they had no instructions about allowing the Press in. It was exactly one year ago, March 29, that fire broke out at the lone jail as prisoners began protests that ran for days. They were eventually shifted to different areas of the island before they were moved to the temporary location at Harrison Point, St Lucy. Monday's sitting heard from prisoners in relation to accusations against Leroy Dennis Snagg who, along with Milton Esajas, are charged separately with destroying Her Majesty's Prisons, along with others, by fire.

Dem complain when star boy Donaldson talk about his sexperience in prison.. throwing doubt on whether his version of the events were accurate, or whether it was just a case of he getting feel up in glendairy and now vex cuz he get the short end of the stick. Now bonafide press reporters want to witness the proceedings to hear the 'truth', and they are given the finger by none other than the prison warders themselves. Only creating more suspicion now and causing people to spread more rumours. Dem MUSSY aint want we to hear how all of Donaldson's reports about Nook Nook were true, or probably some big names getting call and the facts coming out about who was giving and receiving the sausage. Don't worry, just now the Nation gine receive a call from a prisoner at Harrison's Point, who is using a post paid Digicel Motorola RAZR, with all the hairy details. Dem getting real secretive in Barbados tho... just now the budget gine be invitation only, the cost of projects funded by tax money will be classified information and yuh gine gotta get screened before you can find out what your own NIS number is. Oh well, at least we can always get a copy of the Auditor General's Report... just make sure you have a kidney and the better part of your liver to hand when you call.

*After reading this post, 32 persons will cuss me about the Auditor General comment... i'm sorry, it was actually an arm and a leg which is required... you may keep your kidney after all. I guess they changed the requirements... MY BAD.
