Our own Garth St. Clair was quoted in this article about the pending Parole system to be introduced in Trinidad and Tobago.

"Ex-prisoner and co-founder of Eye on Dependency, Garth St Clair, said many former inmates struggle to find work, housing and acceptance long after serving their sentences.

“They come and want to restart their lives. How will society view them, and how will they get the support to remain law-abiding citizens? It has been a struggle, even for me, after 34 years and a presidential pardon,” St Clair said.

St Clair said his organisation supports the proposed parole legislation but questioned whether the State has the infrastructure needed to make it work."

More than 30 years after entering the Port-of-Spain Prison for murder, one inmate had become known less for the crime that put him there and more for the intricate craftwork he produced behind bars.
