24 corrections officers from the Eastern Caribbean attended a mock riot prison event at the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville, West Virginia.

The delegates, hailing from Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, gained valuable professional training by participating in real-life prison riot scenarios and attending a 12-hour certification course on “Disturbance Control and Forced Cell Entry.”

The teams also had the opportunity to partner and train with U.S. correction officers from across the nation.

The training was coordinated through the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement’s (INL) Office of Criminal Justice Assistance and Partnerships and the U.S. Embassy Bridgetown.
