Sounds to me that there’s more drugs IN than OUT! Sort it out Commissioner of Prisons.
There are drugs and contraband in almost every prison in the world and Bermuda is no exception, as a matter of fact the amount of murders and assaults on inmates and prison officers in other prisons compared to Bermuda makes us look like boy scouts. Dreamer
sounds like someone is too lazy to do their job
People are afraid to speak out.

Irony.
Are you serious?…I feel as though this charge has no pertinance and abject to bollocking …reason being…this fellow is now in charge of prison system…as so …once you are in charge of court system your rights have been removed from you…you are no longer responsible…courts and prisons and …basically…Bermuda govt. Are now solely responsible for all and everything…when you remove liberty…you take charge…therefor are now responsible….the charge of possetion should rightly belomg to those in charge of said liberty……pertain law to it’s pertainance or get out of Dodge city!
By sundown…
By sundown…you lay charge…place said charge…on the responsible party…one more thing…why am I teaching you law?….your being paid to know this…
If found guilty, his sentence will run CONSECUTIVE to his current sentence. Meaning he has to finish the first one before this one comes into effect! So I guess he will be spending a long HOT summer!!!
And the murderer, rapist and child molesters’ sentences always run concurrent, or are just “left on file”.
It isn’t..i was just talkin smack…but law tome should be fundamental and pertinently correct…it is something that…well in my humble or not at times…be something the adverage person wish to be correct with…i only seek what i wish to respect….please forgive my outlandish bravado but my family name goes back to 13th century Windsor house …some times i forget my place…sorry bout dat …no realoffence intended…
Peace…
