HMP benefits from UK Prison Service Training Deployment
The week-long visit focused on staff training, security risk assessments, contingency plans, and improving standards in the Virgin Islands prison service.
A release from the prison detailed that the visit marked the first of several planned deployments to bolster the Prison’s capabilities.
His Excellency the Governor John Rankin CMG said “I am pleased to see the positive impact that the new Superintendent, Jay Kendall, has already made. This training shows the UK’s commitment to advancing skills and standards within the Prison Service.”
Over the years, random searches of imamates have unearthed a number of illegal possessions, including cell phones, laptops tablets, and more and the training could improve security at the prison.
Some officers at HMP in the past, have also indicated they were concerned for their safety as well as their families, following death threats made to them by inmates.

Embarrassed, the Brits took over public education from the churches, I think, in 1955. And even then they were very reluctant to invest in secondary school, for that was a bridge too far for Blacks. In essence, they said to Virgin Islanders you don’t need a secondary education to work ground ( Agriculture), fish, and sail. Local protests drove the Brits to yield and agree to build a small Senior School , then a small secondary school.It was not until 1968 under the HL Stoutt government with the launch of the comprehensive school that all Virgin Islanders somewhat had the opportunity to attend secondary school.
Moreover, Virgin Islanders seemed to be a group of people who are divided among themselves. They self-discriminate, putting others before their own; they prefer to see others succeed over their own. Whites have their internal squabbles but will definitely look out for other whites over others. Jay Kendall is the new Superintendent of His Majesty Prison and it appears Gov John Rankin, CMG, seemed to be spearing no expense to help fellow Briton Jay Kendal. Was the same assistance given to former Supt. of HMP Guy Hill???
Virgin Islanders of past centuries had heart, courage and was not afraid to protest against the colonialism rising tide for rights, freedoms, and the blessings of liberty. Today, any leader cannot get 10 people to come together to cohesively protests, advocate and agitate for their rights, ie, easily suspending the VI constitution or to have a say in whom is assigned as government or to protest to the FCO to redress obvious wrongs or to move forward with self-determination issues. Virgin Islanders are afflicted with the affluenza syndrome and don’t give a rat’s ass about anything or anyone else. In the process, they are afflicted with the Stockholm Syndrome.
