GIS:The Government of Grenada is providing clarity on the newly-designated holding facility, established in Morne Rouge.<\/p>\n
The facility, located on a compound that has been used to house persons in quarantine and isolation since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, is now known as the Grand Anse Prisons and Lock-Ups, as outlined in Statutory Rules and Orders No.39 of 2021.<\/p>\n
It is a temporary measure designed to reduce the potential spread of COVID-19 at the
\nHer Majesty\u2019s Prisons.<\/p>\n
In response to media queries on Wednesday, Commissioner of Police, Edvin Martin said the facility may never even be used for its designated purpose. However, he explained that before housing a prisoner in any facility, it must be appropriately designated.<\/p>\n
Further explaining the forward-thinking measure, the Commissioner confirmed that there are no prisoners in the temporary facility at present, as the in-house isolation facility at Richmond Hill is currently sufficient.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThis is a temporary mechanism to serve as a half-way point for persons sentenced or remanded to Her Majesty\u2019s Prisons who may be positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n
The intention here is to reduce the risk of sending positive cases to our Prisons potentially running the risk of infecting the prison population.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Police Commissioner added, \u201cIt must be made clear, that to legally hold persons there, the facility has to be designated for the intended purpose.<\/p>\n
The fact is Her Majesty\u2019s Prisons has made adjustment in its own facility to currently isolate a limited number of such persons.<\/p>\n
Therefore, this a redundancy measure in case of Her Majesty\u2019s Prisons in-house isolation facility reaches capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n
He is optimistic that once the current level of community spread is reduced, this
\nmeasure will be rescinded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
