One solution is to have a public prison supported by the tax payers and a private prison supported by inmates who have the ability to pay for a private cell and better food rations. The moneys derived from the private section could help modernize the public section.
A proper land registry that can be access over the internet will go a long way to alleviate the problem. It would not stop it all together because court cases involving property would not show up but it will help.
When Amnesty International issued a report on Fox Hill Prison the public was also nonchalant about its' state. Even though we are aware of the conditions that exist at our facilities, its sad that we simply don't care.
The whole exercise by Fred Mitchel was done for publicity and now he has gotten tons of it.If you are going to violate someone's human rights even the dumbest dictators know you do it in secret.
I've learnt a long time ago. If you are saying the same thing everyone is saying, you are most likely saying the wrong thing. If you are doing what everyone is doing then you are doing the wrong thing. I take my Q from the majority. Whatever they are doing, I do the opposite. That is the reason why I have mostly voted for third parties. Also when I found that the majority of the populace are "lil man"(the ones who get the wrong end of the stick), I stop been one.
I think you are been disingenuous in your statement.They are not representing a different nationality but a grouping of Bahamians(Haitian descent) who may have some shared interest. Again nothing is mentioned about Haiti in the political process, that just a figment of your imagination. Talk about a simple mind.

Life is a cycle. The whites felt the same way about blacks. I find myself pondering whether the son of a Jamaican could become Prime Minister in today's Bahamaland as what happen in the sixty's or whether Steven Dillet (first black elected to Bahamas parliament(Haitian)) would be elected today. The more remove we are from the plantation the more divided we've become. I don't believe in a Haitian Bahamian party but I do think it make sense for them to vote as a block to advance their special interest. In fact, I hope the island I am on will vote as a block to push some interest we have.
Stop the export of copper. I recon that 90% of the copper exported is stolen.I had a 500 lb reel of wire stolen. It was too heavy to carry so they spend probably the entire night cutting it in pieces. They even steal the copper line connecting the gas tank to the stove at my mother's house.
