The Force will also modernize its Knowledge Management Protocol to maximize the use of data in crime prevention and detection. 6.26 PRISON REFORM A detailed assessment of Prison operations was recently conducted by a team from the State Department of the United States of America. The team was highly impressed at the creative initiatives employed in the rehabilitation process and the self sufficiency of the Institution. The key aspects in the rehabilitation strategy, education, counseling and work programmes have impacted positively on many inmates. The Prison is endeavouring to expand all its rehabilitation programmes in 2012, in particular the Prison Industry. In 2011, the Furniture Shop, which was destroyed by Hurricane Ivan, was re-opened. In addition, a block-making programme was introduced. This year, a Big Brother Support System will be implemented aimed at providing support to distressed inmates. As part of this thrust of rehabilitation, the Prison will strengthen its participation with churches and religious organizations. 6.27 DISASTER MITIGATION AND MANAGEMENT National Disaster Management remains a priority in 2012. A review of the National Disaster Management Plan, in collaboration with CDEMA, was completed in 2011. Plans are in place to conduct a National Simulation exercise in April, to assess the effectiveness of the Plan and the response capacity at the national level. The Agency will continue to forge ahead in its efforts to enhance the coordination and cooperation amongst its stakeholders, strengthen its institutional capacity and ensure the Nation reduces its risk to the impact of hazards and natural disasters. 2012 Budget Statement Page 63
