THE VOICE OF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS By Sase SinghA remand prisoner is one who has been charged but not convicted by the judicial system and is being detained pending a FAIR TRIAL. Six years ago, I wrote a piece in support of Justice Roxanne George when she had cause to throw out a case against Justin John from the Rupununi.He had languished in the Camp Street prison for seven years, and all because the prosecutorial service remained unprepared for trial after all that time had elapsed. Today we have hundreds of Guyanese on remand in a jail system that appears to have judged them before they have even been convicted.What if they are innocent? Can we understand why there will be another prison riot in the future? The system has failed the persons on remand.In the UK, according to a current report from their Chief Inspector of Prisons, a remandee spends an average of nine weeks on the inside and represents some 15 percent of their prison population. But in Guyana, we are in the competition for one of the world’s worst prison records.I am advised that our remandees are more likely to spend ninety weeks on the inside. They constitute close to 36 percent of the prison population. One of the worst cases on record is the case concerning a remandee named Davindra Persaud from Mahaica. Mr. Davindra Persaud has spent some 267 weeks on the inside so far without access to a FAIR TRIAL. How on earth can a system deny an un-convicted person his rights for 267 weeks?This broken jail system in Guyana is evil and the Director of Prisons ought to have spoken up publicly on these abnormalities before these prison riots.It is an established principle that remandees should have rights and entitlements not available to sentenced prisoners. But in Guyana this clearly is not the case.Rather, the system works in a manner that deliberately converts people who have not been proven guilty, into hardens criminals,Wholesale Jerseys, months into their unnecessary and unjust incarceration.THE CASE BACKLOGSThe ability of the criminal justice systems to process cases effectively and efficiently is a basic ingredient of any functional society. Clearly the judicial system is a principal contributor to the dysfunctionality in the Guyanese society.Why to date have we not instituted the night court system and the lay magistrate system to dispense justice in a swifter manner?But to add salt to the wound, the magistrates and judges of Guyana are too inconsiderate in how they offer adjournment to cases,Cheap NFL Jerseys, which is also a major factor in clogging the system.If the prosecutors are not ready to proceed with his case, then some of these cases ought to be thrown out for lack of evidence.If defence attorneys are not ready,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale, then the case must proceed regardless. It is no fault of the person charged that some lawyers are sloppy administrators. These delays just add to the appearance that the entire judicial system is very slow.It is the duty of the prosecutors to convince the court to convict the defendant and this must be done in a timely manner. A defendant must not pay a price because of slipshod prosecutorial services.Every day in Guyana, court cases are piling up, causing the average time on the inside for a person on remand to be increasing. But what is even worse, is that on average some $485,000 per year of taxpayers’ money is being spent to feed a single prisoner.If we are to calculate the total boarding, lodging,jerseys from china, medical and clothing cost of each person on the inside, it can very well cost this nation more than $750,000 per person. Even the average lower income man who goes to work every day barely earns that much per year. This is nothing but financial wastage and a criminal act against the working man!According to the latest Auditor General Report, some 17,729 cases were scheduled to be heard in the Demerara Magisterial County in 2014. I am reliably informed that at the end of last year there were over 30,000 such cases pending across Guyana. What this illustrates is that judicial officials, especially magistrates, are not working hard enough and are most inefficient inthe art of bringing closure to their cases.In 2007, there was a process called mediation that was introduced to the judicial system. Several judicial officers earned millions of dollars in additional personal income on an IDB project to tackle the backlogs of cases. But we are back to square one today and this illustrates that the top officials in the judicial system are failing the nation. WHAT’S BEHIND THE BACKLOG?A combination of factors are to blame for this crisis including lack of technology in the judicial system, politics, incompetence of some judicial officials, a social meltdown in Guyana where people easily embrace criminality rather than the rule of law and the inability of the executives in confirming the Chancellor and Chief Justice (which are good reasons for them to work to rule).There is a corrupt police investigatory system, an overwhelmed DPP chambers, inadequate judges and magistrates on the benches, an inefficient court scheduling system and an outdated set of criminal laws that can send little boys to jail for three years because they smoke a marijuana cigarette.As a point aside, I wonder if the Accountant General told the magistrates and police prosecutors that they have to wait three years for their salary cheques because his staff is still working on the computation and not prepared to cut those cheques, how they would feel?There are over 500 men,Wholesale NFL Jerseys, mainly Afro-Guyanese,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, on remand and many of them are waiting more than three years for justice.It is nothing but an act of criminality what is happening to those people on remand.When will this end? The prison population has ballooned since 1999 to the point that today the Camp Street prisons holds 30 percent more inmates than it was constructed to hold.In such condition, it is natural that we will have periodic prison rebellions especially among the population of remandees.I have consulted both the laws of Guyana and a lawyer and I can safely say that it is my belief that it is possible for His Excellency the President if he so wishes, to grant Presidential pardons to those remandee who have been locked away for long periods of time without access to justice. I truly believe that Davindra Persaud ought to be seriously considered for a Presidential pardon along with all those remandee who are rotting away in a failed system for more than three years without a Trial.作者: fuxue6u32 時間: 2017-9-10 18:26 標題: Goedkope Tsjechisch Voetbalshirts 65019 Camisetas Atalanta B.C Baratas

While reloading, slacken your horse’s speed to a hand gallop.

he world, through their secret services, ferreted out as much as possible of Goedkope Spanje Voetbalshirts this latest incident. They did not Ralph Lauren Manches Courtes Pas Cher form anything like an accurate idea of events, but they procured shreds of truth embroidered with fantastic exaggeration. There was a general feeling that something more was at stake than a diplomatic coup, and the discomfiture of the British Government. Something weird, something quite beyond reckoning was going on on that remote island. Three ships had been sent away with their crews in mental confusion. The islanders, besides being physically eccentric and morally perverse, seemed to have powers which in Goedkope Rangers Voetbalshirts an earlier age would have been called diabolic. In a vague Peuterey Stripes Yd Homme Pas cher subconscious way Homo sapiens began to realize that his supremacy was challenged.
The Commander of the second cruiser had informed Peuterey Femme Storm Sp Yd Pas cher his Government that the islanders were of many nationalities. The Government, feeling itself to be in an extremely delicate position in which a false step might expose it as guilty of murdering children, yet feeling that the situation must be dealt with firmly and speedily before the Communists could make capital out of it, decided to ask other Powers to co-operate and share responsibility.
Meanwhile the Soviet vessel had left Vladivostok and was Camisetas Bayern Munich Baratas already in the South Seas. Late one afternoon we sighted her, a small trading-vessel of unobtrusive appearance. She dropped anchor and displayed the Red Flag, with its golden device.
The Captain, a grey-haired man in a peasant blouse, who seemed to me to be still inwardly watching the agony of the Civil War, brought us a flattering message Ostaa Halpa Jalkapallo Real Betis Paidat from Moscow. We were invited to migrate to Russian territory, where, we were assured, we should be left free to manage our colony as we wished. We should be immune from persecution by the Capitalist Powers on account of our Communism and our Camisetas Sagna Baratas sexual customs. While he was delivering himself of this speech, slowly, but in excellent Zlatan Ibrahimovic Pelipaidat English, a woman who was apparently one of his officers was making friendly advances to Sambo, who hlinks:
girls should read and write, wear clean clothes, have decent beds, and eat hot meat every day. But that is now impossible. Gradually, with very up-hill work, but still I trust with sure work, much will be done to improve their position and render their life respectable; but in England we can have Fitflop Positano Pas cher no Lowells. In our thickly populated island any commercial Utopia is out of the question. Nor can, as I think, Lowell be taken as a type of the future Camisetas Oscar Baratas manufacturing towns of New England. When New England employs millions in her factories instead of thousands — the hands employed at Lowell, when the mills are at full work, are about 11,000 — she must cease to provide for them their beds and meals, their church-going proprieties and orderly modes of life. In such an attempt she has all the experience of the world Nike Air Zoom Hombre Baratas against her. But nevertheless I think she will have done much good. The tone which she Camisetas E.Hazard Baratas will have given will not altogether lose its influence. Employment in a factory is now considered reputable by a farmer and his children, and this idea will Camisetas Monterrey Baratas remain. Factory work is regarded as more respectable than domestic service, and this prestige will not wear itself altogether out. Those now employed have a strong conception of the dignity of their own social position, and their successors will inherit much of this, even though they may find themselves excluded from the Ralph Lauren Chemisier Pas Cher advantages of the Maglia Juventus present Utopia. The Maglia Inghilterra thing has begun well, but it can only be regarded as a beginning. Steam, it may be presumed, will become the motive power of cotton mills in New England as it is with us; and when it is so, the amount of work to be done at any one place will not be checked by any such limit as that which Ostaa Halpa Jalkapallo West Ham United Paidat now prevails at Lowell. Water-power is very cheap, but it cannot be extended; and it would seem that no place can become large as a manufacturing town which has to depend chiefly upon water. It is not improbable that steam may be brought into general use at Lowell, and that Lowell may spread itself. If it should spread itself widelylinks:
