If the Jamaican Government is [not] building additional jail cells to house murderers, not building new court houses and hiring more staff to prosecute criminals, and not recruiting, training, and paying the right people to be police officers, how can it seriously claim to be fighting crime?
By the way, do you know why Jamaica has become so violent and crime tolerant? Corrupt political leadership that has refused to put the full bootheel of the state on the neck of violent criminals!!!
If you have chickens, you need chicken coops, and dogs need kennels. Criminals need jails.

Whenever the topic of jails and punishment comes up, some people oppose the construction of jails.
My question to them is, what do you propose we do with the criminals murdering entire families, including babies?
What, if anything, are your suggestions for the ever-growing number of people who have decided that a life of crime is the path they want for themselves?
Should we allow them to continue to do as they please, as we have basically done with our criminal justice system since Jamaica supposedly became independent and has earned the dubious title of the murder capital of the world?
“Yes, I said the murder capital of the world’. I said what I said!!!

Have you noticed that politicians oppose more scrutiny of how taxpayer funds are allocated? Under what circumstances does an employee gets to tell his employer the parameters for employment?
Huh, Delroy Chuck?
If you do not like the rules find another line of work.
You are not entitled to public service; serving is an honor, and you are not a king. That goes for Chuck and others, regardless of political party, who believe that they have the right to determine whether there is transparency in our government.
The only people served by the system in JAMAICA are the violent murderers, their cohorts, and defense attorneys who make a living from them.
No one bothers to ask where the money comes from to pay the high-priced vultures who represent those killers with vim and vigor? The general understanding is that the shottas have the dough to pay for their defense.
Despite all of this, neither the government nor the PNP, which has operated as a support group for the Island’s criminals, has taken proactive steps to get out ahead of this scourge legislatively.

Our country is seriously compromised. On the one hand, there are people like Delroy Chuck calling on citizens to tell what they know and making the case in June for more intelligence gathering using CCTV and other methods, while he is directly involved in letting murderers off the hook if they only plead guilty.
Delroy Chuck’s approach allows murderers to plead guilty, and fifty percent of the penalty they would received is removed. We all know that a murderer is most likely to receive seven years for taking a life, so fifty percent leaves the murderer with three and one-half years to serve. If that murderer served a year in jail before being let out on bail by the criminal-loving judges, he would receive time served for that, so he is down to two and one-half years, and with good behavior, that scumbag is out in a year.
Welcome to the dystopia we call Jamaica. Jamaica, no fucking problem.
Yah…
We spend a great deal of time lauding our athletes as we should. They continue to carry the nation’s flag high, but some pretend that athletes winning races erases the country’s danger.
It does not!!!!
