Here's Norman Wallacey, the former Principal for the Belmopan Baptist High school, who now the head of the Prison's Education and Rehab Department, explaining why Kolbe is excited for these inmates:

Norman Willacey - Dir. Edu. & Rehab. Kolbe Fdn. Prison
"The program we run here is geared towards helping inmates, to one; recognize that there's a need for a change. Something went wrong in his life, with some decisions making and that person is here. So, we recognize that need and we have implemented programs to help to meet that particular need in inmates' life. We signed up 14 inmates out of a total of about 450. I'm still trying to figure out what really hinders a greater enrolment, but that's what we had. So many saw that well, there is something really good for me, I can do it. So, we'll be motivating others and helping them to get on board and increase the statistics."

Prison Inmate - Passed PSE
"They were good, they did their part with Math, English, Science and Social Studies. They did their part. Every day they helped us. From since getting us ready from a couple months before this PSE, from Monday to Friday. We go to school from 8:30 to 2 in the afternoon. That gives us enough time to go through what we need to do and freshen up the mind for the day."

"Talk to me about which of the 4 subjects you thought to be a little bit challenging."

Prison Inmate - Passed PSE
"I will be real, you can see it. I am speaking Creole right now. English is the hardest one for me."

Nelson Longsworth - Head. Exams Unit. Education
"The traditional mainstream in terms of who takes the PSE has been Primary School Students, but because of their providing the opportunity for the inmates here at KOLBE to be able to prepare and also sit the exam. So, we go through a process of ensuring that they are provided with resources."

The prison hopes to provide an equivalent high school education for inmates in the near future.
