		<description><![CDATA[Hardly an opportunity, the TLC has been closed since June and will be reopened in April 2013......so the island has had 10 months of nothing in terms of prisoner reintigration. Leading up to the facility closure it couldn&#039;t have been fully functioning either. This is just another exposing of a PLP failure spun to try and make it look like the did something. 10 months, when gangs and crime are rampant. SMH]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Correction.
Moms are talked down to. 
e.g. In a condescending, shout over the counter,
I don&#039;t feel like getting up to discuss your now public, shouted out, supposed to be confidential details.
Plus I&#039;m busy right now! What you want now look! Whispering, ignore you. Brusque one work answers.
Meaningless phrases. Oh it&#039;s her again. You know the I&#039;m better than you Bermudian, I have a job, (for now! Lol) behaviour? Just to clarify. Umm, by the way, we don&#039;t get child support, so you were right, I guess the children all grown up, in your jails, didn&#039;t need it after all!
Bravo. You guys look great! Really nice outfits. 
Go check the moms catching the bus with their kids, see how they are managing.
No money for hair dos, or haircuts. Find groceries every week for growing black boys, I dare you.
You are not going do it, tell the truth okay.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Respectfully, and I say this in love.
But Maam, you are a liar.
You promised to help moms and kids with child maintenance money due.
You said they would not be able to travel, licence their sharp cars and bikes 
And trucks unless they paid their child support.

Remember, laws were going to be applied? You said.
Stand in the hall by the Family Support office and listen to how the moms are spoken to, or 
Should I say disrespected and talked done to.
As if we are there begging for what your Magistrate said is due these children! Rude and you allow it.
And yes the dads are treated so politely and made comfortable by the girls there.
Only one lady there has self respect, she knows who she is.
God bless her, and he does.

I know my friend who worked at TLC won&#039;t work again, he is Bermudian.
And I know he did more than all you administrators. Yes you did your part,
I appreciate that but Walter and my other brothers and sisters in the paint,
do all the dirty work. No disrespect bosses but just my experience.
Again, lol, Stop lying.
Painfully, I remember the last time you said...anticipating, waiting, time passed.
I kind of expected you to come through, sadly.
I feel lives could have been saved. Expectations lead to premeditated resentments. 
Who feels it knows it. My own fault sis. 
Bless up. Apologies for any hurt feelings or poor word choices. 
Respect.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I t is good to hear that TLC will be back up and running in early 2013 but the only challenge I have with Minister Wilsons press release is that no where does she talk about the hard working Bermudian staff that loss their jobs as a result of the closure of TLC and the former group that had the contract for TLC was a foreign group that hired locals which was a good thing but these same locals became unemployed that the contract was not renewed and TLC closed down.

TLC was and is a good initative and the staff that she praises in her photo up did not do as great of a job as those behind the scenes and they are the ones that need to be highly commended and they are also the ones that need to be re-employed immediately when TLC starts up again and they should not be made to go through any political wrangling of having to re-apply.So Minister the next time this subject comes up we would appreciate you dealing with these concerns and the plight of the Bermudians that worked at TLC and did an outstanding job and what is your position on them having to be rehired without the political Wranglings.]]></description>
