You can now listen to Antigua News articles!
The Denise Bowers Rehabilitation Center, formerly the Boys Training School, has implemented a new policy requiring the seven teenage boys housed at the facility to be in bed by 8 PM, Antigua.news has learnt
According to sources who spoke to Antigua.news exclusively, this decision has sparked unrest among the residents, who previously enjoyed a lights-out time of 10 PM.
Upon learning of the reduced bedtime, the source told Antigua.news that the boys reacted with frustration, leading to an incident where they kicked down the bedroom doors in protest.
This outburst raised concerns among the staff, prompting officials to consider reporting the situation to local authorities for further action.
The bedtime curfew change is intended to promote discipline and structure within the facility. However, it has met with significant backlash from the boys, highlighting the challenges faced by the rehabilitation center in balancing rules with the well-being of its residents.
Antigua.news will continue to follow that story.
Hmmm so they wanted to call authority. Aren’t they the authority? Don’t they have at least one lawman or someone of the likes on shift?
Bang dem. Lickle rass man. Dem likkle ungrateful scoundrels
So how you sending grown men to sleep at 8pm? I mean I understand that they are under discipline but come on. At least 9pm. These boys come into these facilities with alot of rage. You can see by the strength they uses to kick down that door. Wow.
But these boys not easy. They broke down the door to achieve what? What is their goal? To give the government addition expense? Let them know Alfa Nero money done spendout. So no money there for extra work.
Some persons prefer hardship to comfort. At 1735 they lock you in at 5pm or something like that. How they weren’t protesting while there?
I guess they prefer being incarcerated with grown men. I bet they do not so they better behave themselves and appreciate the structure, security, cleanliness, and access to clean toilets and shower facilities where they are currently housed. Comfort can turn into extreme hardship in a heartbeat.
We need ex Army and police men to work at the boys training school
Send the Faithful National #1 DOOFUS in there to straighten them out since that person is so knowledgeable on everything and always has some solutions to problems.
I am surprised he hasn’t commented under this post. But the time it was posted he probably was asleep. I’m thinking that he may be old or underage.
