The government says it will use profits from the State Insurance Corporation to get work started on a new remand prison.
Some of the profits are also expected to be used to build a new home for ABS, it was reveal in Cabinet yesterday.
The two bodies will be allocated $2 million dollars each, according to the government.
Regarding ABS, the Cabinet agreed to improve conditions that have proven vexing for employees, and in the case of the prison, an embarrassment and a health challenge for inmates.
A precise date for the construction of the new prison has not yet been revealed but funding has always been an issue.
It is not certain where and when the new ABS headquarters will be constructed.

Let’s stop putting so many people in prison. If there are foreigners in prison, they should be immediately deported from Antigua and be lifetime barred from returning.
Has anybody noticed that as Antigua allowed more CARICOM nations to immigrate to Antigua, our crime rate went up big time?
CARICOM is a joke and Antigua should withdraw from it ASAP.
Hope that ABS gets a new state of the art building. They need more studio spaces and other rooms. ABS has come a long way and made significant strides. Congrats to the management and staff. Keep pressing on to higher heights.
@ Real talk. Profits will be used to capitalize projects that will not add value.
This is absurdity profits from an insurance company should be used to generate revenue, we live in a hurricane prone country.
If they are so liquid to kill the profit dollars why not lower medical and life premium so that more persons can be insured.
Wow
What about putting it in social security
