I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Herman when he first was appointed to the job as head of this institution and he struck me as an honest, straight forward individual.
It was appalling to hear from others who were affiliated to the prison system, what went on with SOME of the correctional officers who were colluding with prisoners to turn the prison into a hotel where prisoners did what they wanted.
Mr. Herman struck me as a no nonsense guy who would do the best possible job with just one other public service institution with institutionalized corruption and incompetence.
It is unfortunate that in St. Lucia someone such as Mr. Herman can be victimized BECAUSE he attempts to cut out the corruption, illigality and wastefullness that now runs ranpant through our society. It appears we do not want change in this country once that changes involves us having to adjust/change out methods of doing business even when it is beneficial for our society.
Welcome back Mr. Herman.
I hope Herman behave himself, because the officers know their rights.
The rights they made of smuggling drugs in??
Talking about drugs, do you think a poor man could import a whole lot of cocaine into the country? I do not think they have the money to do that, so the drugs are brought into the country by the rich and big boys in society, and it is given to the poor boys to juggle on the streets. So the poor is always arrested and sent to prison, making it look as if it is them that is creating the drug problem in the country. If you know anything about prison, you would have known that there are many ways drugs could enter a prison, not only through the officers.
Why does the poor man go to jail without identifying the rich man who sold him the drugs?
People let us be a little sense able here, if you are arrested with drugs, what good it will do for you, by saying "this is not mine Tom jones gave it to me." Does that makes sense to you? We all know the drugs barrons in St Lucia, how many of them are ever imprisoned for drugs.
I hate drug dealers as much as I hate a murderer.
St lucia authority love then because they never arrest them, only the jumbies are arrested. Check our prison, packed with JUMBIES.
Things are changing, slowly but they are changing.
I have had the pleasure and opportunity to meet Mr Herman,in my view is a honest, respectable and law abiding individual, whose aims and objectives are always in line with policies and procedures. It is of great sadness that someone of his calibre who has the great potential to implement strategies to both improve and enhance the practice of exisitng prison officers that he should be at the receiving end of such extreme negativity. I am a firm believer that he is the correct individual to implemement and strategise the changes required at bordelais.
Patricia, not because you meet someone, and you did not have the pleasure to work with him, that you can judge him as a fair and reasonable person. The officers are the best ones to judge him because they had the experience of working with him. I know some people will jump and say because he want to be hard on the corrupt officers, they are against him, but as long as i can remember, corrupt officer were being fired from the prison, once caught, so that is nothing new. Some people want to imply that prison officers are the most corrupt bunch of workers in St Lucia, but that is not true because there are corrupt workers in all sectors. The more than 60% of officers who signed the petition against mr Herman cannot be all corrupt, because there is not so many corrupt officers at the prison.
Then he will just have to discipline 60%.
I hope Herman will not have to be discipline one day, because i have seen the head of the prison been disciplined in the past. We must not believe that only the small ones should and is to be disciplined.
