Provide life jackets for our visitors to rent at Horse Shoe bay .

Westgate’s 2020/2021 average daily number of inmates was 150 or 40.32% of capacity. Unless some mass retirement of prison guards/staff is coming up, or mass imprisonments are upcoming, the inmate headcount is manageable. Why do we have management that cannot manage?

Interestingly, the Prison Service funds education for the inmates because they dropped out of Bermuda schools or were simply passed through the grades. Draw your own conclusions on the public education system. The plus side is that several retired top-notch teachers are used which gives the retirees some extra income. Kudos to those inmates who want to improve themselves. Kudos to those teachers who hold classes at Westgate! Just driving by the prison gives me the creeps.

As to lifeguards, NYC also has a shortage, and the Mayor of NYC has suggested using an untapped resource.

A “pool” of available lifeguards? Really?

The Minister for National Security has said that the Bermuda Police Service needs to recruit 101 officers this year, the Prison Service is down by at least 30 prison officers, there is a critical shortage of teachers and now the Bermuda government cannot even recruit lifeguards for the summer?

Oh, and just because the budget for lifeguards has been increased does not mean that pay for lifeguards has increased. Lt. Col. Burch chose his words carefully.
