THE Rotary Club of Nassau in conjunction with Nassau Agencies Ltd made a generous donation to the Bahamas Department of Correctional Services yesterday.

The items include a laptop, 55-inch flat screen television, hand-held digital thermometers, Beep disinfectant spray and hand sanitisers.

The laptop and television will assist the inmates with the e-Learning platform, a new initiative that is coming on stream soon.

Additionally, this learning platform will be an integrated set of interactive online classes that will aide in providing the education, information, tools and resources to enhance the inmates’ level of education. This gives each inmate the opportunity to be a more productive citizen upon successful re-entry and reintegration into society.

Further, the disinfectant spray and hand sanitisers will be distributed and used throughout the various housing units in keeping with COVID-19 protocols and the department’s mandate to ensure proper sanitisation measures within the institution.

In attendance at the event was Stephen Dean, president of the Rotary Club of Nassau, along with some of the club’s members; Commissioner of Corrections Charles Murphy; senior officers of the department and Tonesha Smith, who made a presentation on behalf of Nassau Agencies.
