Hunger strike @ HMP?

Bad food in Balsam Ghut?
According to the same source; however, the hunger strike came to an end when the male prisoner reportedly had food brought to him from outside of the facility.
The full details of the action by the inmate remain unclear.
It is our understanding that other prisoners continue to complain about the quality of food at the state-run penitentiary.
The management style of the prison head, St Lucia national Verne A. G. Garde, has also been under scrutiny. Efforts to reach Mr Garde were unsuccessful.
Our newsroom also reached out to the Minister who shares responsibility for the prison, Minister for Health and Social Development Hon Carvin Malone, (AL) for a comment; however, Hon Malone did not repond to our request.
Demands
Meanwhile, further information received is that the inmate who refused to eat food offered by the prison was making demands, including wanting to see elected officials as well as the Governor.

Call the penitentiary jail ,or a correctional facility
After incarceration one is no longer eligible for certain position even with qualifications because of the record that follows him/her after successfully completing the programme ( time served) why then where they in there if they cannot return into society as a normal and free man you now become a convicted felon??
HOW CROOKED IS THAT!‼
Some go to jail for the simplest of things no trying to justify there wrong doing but repercussions for such actions can be dealt with less severely still sending the message rather than exposing those individuals to such harsh environment cause we all are a product of our environment
Just mek the food available and if him naw waan cum get it, tha's his problem.
Prison system is on the verge of a major collapse. If the little B**ch, yes B**ch in a man’s body don’t want to eat what the State and tax payers is feeding him, then &**k him. Bet if it was a Local boy, they would have let him starve to death nor would they have got him outside food to appease.
Let him continue his hunger strike.
These inmates are allowed to behave how they want.. stricter policies and procedures need to be in place and enforced by these officers.. a set of play traps!
