Up to 12 men with nowhere else to go will move into a transitional home as soon as they are released from Westgate.

The men will have to pay a "minimal monthly rent" to live in the transitional home, which is in the central parishes. The exact location cannot be revealed for safety reasons. No supervision occupants will have the freedom to live in the government-subsidised house without any supervision, for a maximum of six months. The initiative promotes independent living as the last part of their journey to be reintegrated back into the community. Inmates will only qualify for a place if they have behaved well at Westgate, completed all prison programmes and lined up jobs. There will also be a "shopping list" of conditions for them to abide by. Read More. |
