Injured prison officer to receive new house today
A spanking new, single-flat, concrete, two-bedroom house will be officially handed over to injured former Prison Officer Roxanne Winfield today.
This is 11 years after she was shot in the head during a daring jailbreak by five criminals while she was on duty at the Camp Street Prison.
This new house at Nabaclis will be officially handed over to Roxanne Winfield today.
For several weeks after the incident, Winfield remained in a coma on life support machines.
Today she is partially paralysed and is cared for by her sister Jackie, but there are others who continue to honour her heroism with tangible support.
One such group is the Rotary Club of Stabroek.
They say it’s better late than never and with the help of the Government of Guyana, The Guyana Prison Service, Habitat for Humanity, the Guyana Relief Council, Food for the Poor, TCL, Glass Inc and the Hand in Hand Insurance Company, the Club has kept its promise to build a home for the heroin.
Today, Winfield is expected to move into the house, which sits on a plot of land that was owned by Winfield’s father at Nabaclis on the East Coast of Demerara.
