Organisation aids released prisoners

Jan 06, 2013 News

Seventeen prisoners, who were all held for committing non-violent crimes, had their requisite fines paid by Food For The Poor (Guyana) Incorporated.
The 17 prisoners, who were released in time to spend the previous Christmas holidays with their families, were targeted from Georgetown, New Amsterdam, Lusignan and Timehri prisons.
According to a release by FFTP, 11 of the 17 prisoners released are between the ages of 18 and 30.
The prison release programme is held twice annually, at Easter and Christmas, commencing in Guyana in 2005. Previously it was held once per year, at Christmas.
President and CEO of Food For The Poor, Robin Mahfood, in a message to the prisoners who were released said, “The Gospel message calls us to do this work. God is releasing you. We are just doing his work.”
