Thank you, Minister

As of Friday, March 26, 2021

EDITOR, The Tribune.

I am writing to commend Mr Dames and The Prerogative Board of Mercy for the progressive steps they have taken to give deserving offenders a second chance. There are so many countries that have moved away from this “lock them up and throw away the key” way of handling inmates which we have sadly embraced for decades.

So thank you, Minister, for giving those deserving men and women a second chance and for giving families the joy of being reunited with their loved ones.

Many struggling wives and mothers, like myself, are eagerly looking forward to having our spouse back at home, especially during this difficult period in our country.

The Bahamian people are not stupid and recognise when our elected officials are trying to do good and move the country forward. Your efforts are appreciated.
