British Virgin Islands: Prison

Submitted by Renee Rush on the 2022 winter session program in the British Virgin Islands sponsored by the School of Nursing…

This week, we continued with our clinical experience at the hospital! After clinical one day, we went to a prison museum and got a tour of it. We learned about some of the prisoners that previously resided there and how the prison system in the BVI differs from the US. For example, they explained how the prisoners were allowed to check themselves in and out of the prison everyday if they displayed good behavior. Overall, it was a great experience to see how their system worked!
