ST. JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – The Antigua and Barbuda government says it is seeking to build a new prison to alleviate “some of the issues caused by the overcrowding of the current prison.
The Baldwin Spencer administration said that the new prison, which will accommodate 550 inmates, would “focus on rehabilitation and not just incarceration”.
The original prison was built in 1735 to accommodate 151, but at the end of December last year had a population of 395.
