Cabinet Notes:
It was reported by the Minister responsible for Public Safety that the prison population now stands at 210, and that number will be further reduced in the coming weeks by 43 to be discharged.
Each person placed on remand, or convicted for a term, or is about to be discharged, is tested for Covid-19.
Those entering are tested before being allowed to mix with the confined population of prisoners.
All prisoners and staff have been tested, and 177 have been vaccinated.
The list of diseases for which a potential government employee is to be lawfully tested, will now include the new Coronavirus disease.

Prison population dropping from over 300 to 170 approximately in just a few weeks.
Has AG worked with relevant authorities regarding strict parole and ankle bracelet monitoring and is therefore confident the law-abiding general population will not be subject to a marked increase in theft, harassment, break-ins & sexual abuse?
I hope they’re going to be deported.
Let’s see what happens as a result now. If they repeat their ignorance then what?
Will the prison population increase in a few weeks also, how many cases are outstanding?
They should release those that are in prison for drugs. That would take the prison population down to a good level.
