The Drugs
Two weeks ago NDEA made a SCR 122 Million Heroin bust. Three small time handlers arrested. The main Escobars are yet to face a judge. What is the cause of the delay? Why is NDEA so evasive on the subject in the day and age of digital information? We have given NDEA enough time to produce the Escobars financing this SCR 122 Million payload. 122 Million is not money for Takamaka Rum or Green Apple!
Breaking and entering is on an all time rise. No question about it. What is Ministry of Internal Affairs under Minister Bastienne going to do differently from Mr. Joel Morgan? So far, we have not heard a peep. Minister Bastienne has yet to address these cronic serious issues that preoccupy each resident in Seychelles, today.
Released convicts are not subjected to 30 day reviews when freed. It would be helpful that when released these convicts need to have a trade or vocation. They need to be assigned to work places. They need to get real jobs, report to a Probation Officer, that monitors their progress and adjustment back into society. Thus far, what have we been witnessing? The revolving prison system. Convicts are prosecuted, do a little time, come out, spend a little time free, meet up quickly with the wrong people, get tempted to go back to their old ways, and then, back on the chain gang, back in jail, to do more time. This does not work for society, it does not work for the accused, victims, or families. PL needs to stop the deliberate revolving door policy that keeps unstable people in and out of jail. They need to be saved from themselves. Society has a interest in saving them: lower crime, will mean a better bottom line for the Seychelles economy, since we rely on Tourism as our main bread earner. Low crime means higher net worth Tourists to our shores, hence a better nett Yield.
Get Tough On Crime
The Seychelles judiciary needs to get tough on crime.
They need to get tougher on crimes against Seychellois and Tourist alike. Simple. For too long, the Judiciary has been too soft on crimes. It simply has to end or judges salaries cut for under performance.
The Judiciary does not need to be to told what to do or what it must do.
The Executive Branch simply needs to set mathematical targets for the Judiciary to meet to be eligible for finance each fiscal year. If they meet targets, they get their Budget. If they do not meet the targets, their budget should be cut accordingly.
The time to stop playing with our lives is today!
Sesel Pou Seselwa!
May god Bless All Freedom loving Seychellois!

What do they do while locked up PL?Sleep all day,and each time their release date arrival,they are let out on the streets,no better than when they entered prison.
You right Chris ,Pl government must be commited to making sure that offenders take responsibility for their,but alos need to make sure that ex-offenders are able to re-enter,and contribute to society by getting a honest,decent job ,thus putting their offending behind them.
There are various expertises conducted by experts that show s that former offenders who are able to get back inot the world of work and contribute to society are less likely to reoffend.
The obstalces are daunting,but there is increasing recognition that miscreants into productive citizens could someday make the country safer.
<RISKS to RE-offending
Understanding risks to re-offending is central to reducing re-offending.KEY RISKS includes:1)limited social skills,problem-solving skills and poor emotion mamnagement.
-Criminal attitudes
-lack of positive recreation or leisure activitities /anti-social lifesytl-Substance abuse
-Dysfunctional family relationships
-Homelessness
-Low motivation and/or self -efficacy.
Businesses,buseinssmen, etc.. can play a role in Supporting Ex-offenders reintegration.
It is surely a daunting---but there are steps that can be taken ,and also the willingness of business owners to make the effort and it takes lots of passion,understanding ,willingness to help.
One would have to
1)build trust-base relationship with inmate(before offender left prison.
2)facilitating continuity in relationship------this can include meeting offender while they are still in prison.....offering job training after offender left prison etc...
3)encouraging belief in the capacity to change including motivating ex-offenders to change
4)flexibility--people have individual need-Partnership working and collaboration between services to provide joined up service.This is important in providing all-round support.
5)Using peer advisors.etc..etc..etc
6)those with minor crimes offences could be (according how they comprt themselves during first months behind bars---could be taking their sentence ...be allow to train ina job---so that not only after their jail sentence they could and must find a job---but for some ,the training can start behind bars..so that when the left prison ,they already have experience in certain jobs etc....therefore bigger chances of getting a job.
In a word...what Chris proposes is the right steps to take..unfortunately Pl fails on everything.
+
Pl must first learn the CUASES of crimes---why our youths suddenly are becoming gross criminals.
-DRUGS---are a bane....no matter how we look at them.
Depression and other mental disorders
_Family conditions
-Poverty
_unemployment
-OVERPOPULATION-------Seychelles is not over populate .but the unccountable amount of Expats Pl imported to our shores and to take Seychellois jobless---make us feel as if we are over populated like India and other countries.
