Several inmates enrolled in professional development courses at the Lifelong Learning Unit (LLU) of the University of the West Indies Five Islands Campus (UWIFIC) expressed gratitude for a generous donation from the institution and the Board of Education (BoE).
The LLU, established in August 2021, aims to enhance the skills and capacity of adult learners in the workplace by providing diverse learning opportunities.
The inmates recently received three new laptops to support their online studies.
Joel Seraphin, a recipient of a fully paid scholarship through the Seeds of Hope program, expressed appreciation for the opportunity.
Alongside fellow inmates Kaniel Martin and Colin Murraine, Seraphin graduated at the top of his class in 2022.
Recognizing the stigma attached to inmates, Seraphin acknowledged the program as a second chance in life that they will not take for granted.
Lieutenant Colonel Trevor Pennyfeather, the prison boss, emphasized the importance of giving everyone a second chance, regardless of their background or past mistakes.

This is a brilliant idea, ensure they have a chance at getting a job upon returning to freedom.
I also hope and pray that their VICTIMS were also helped likewise with laptops to help further their education …
Brixtonian, supporting the victims of criminality time and time again.
I know God is a God of second chances but this is so hard to process. To this day, I still wish my beloved had been given a second chance before his life was taken.
My heartfelt condolences to you @ Still Grieving, the liberal minded and do-gooders tend to forget about those who have lost loved ones, and suffered at the hands of the criminal fraternity.
Praying for peace and comfort in your life. 🙏
