Allen Baptiste allegedly at centre of major disturbance at HMP – source
Information is sketchy but, according to sources close to the facility, HMP is on high alert as its management was forced to come together to devise urgent strategies to deal with what was described as an incident that can result in ‘major incidents’ in the holding facility.
Exactly what transpired is unknown and efforts to secure necessary information from the recently appointed Superintendant of Prisons Mr David Foot have been futile.
Reliable sources have informed this news site that ever since committed to life without parole, Mr Baptiste has allegedly been at the centre of several fracases at the facility.
“Last night they would have had serious bloodshed and the other things. This place is not properly secured and them men got plans, they got plans and what happen last night was only phase one. I can’t say much but they got to get on top of things in there and stop all the political talks,” said a concerned relative of one of the inmates.
Contacted by Virgin Islands News Online, Police Information Officer Diane Drayton did not disclose a name but said “one prisoner is in custody. No charges have been laid as yet.”
Security at HMP is an issue that continues to be of major concern for relatives of inmates as well as prison officers.

Over And OUT!!!! No one is going to take his SH_T for too long...watch.
Clearly, Mr. Bapriste needs to be in a high security prison. Perhaps Mr. Foot and the Governor can make arrangements to have him transferred to such a facility outside the BVI?
He needs to be under heavy guard and sequestered from the rest of the inmate population.
Any inmate who can cause a riot, poses a major problem and we all know that our prison is not even close to being escape proof! Nip it in the bud, get him and any other inmates who follow with similar behaviour, gone! Split them up and put them wherever they will have no power over others and where they can't associate with their buddies.
Has anyone noticed that for the first time in 14 years, there have been no murders in 2013? Now that we finally have most of the criminal powerhouses off the streets, suddenly, there are no murders! Makes you think doesn't it?
Thank God for the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force and US Customs. Merry Christmas to all of us! Good luck Mr. Foot. You are going to need it! Despite what some say, the majority of us are behind you and pray you will be able to make positive changes up there.
All ayo soo stupid ayo ain kno the kinda unjust %^^&& da ppl dem going tru in that prison ..
DE POLICE NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE CURRANT AND GIVE A BEATING IN THE DARK, I BET they WOULD NOT WANT TO DO $%^& TO COME BACK POLICE STATION AKING THE @$$ UP IN PRISON
It is your Constitutional [Fundamental RIGHT] to blogg-as [EXPRESSION of freedom of speech].
You can blogg and blogg until the Minister get VEX and report you to Madam Speaker in Parliament!!
I am enjoying my freedom,sitting behind a computer,BLOGGING freely on VINO,making phone calls to my senior BVI Citizens and texing.
I am pleased that the people of the BVI have taken a stance against those criminals and convicted murderers.I respect persons Convicted of Crimes,but if after Conviction you are behaving bad;that is a clear sign,that you are a THREAT to SOCIETY!
Let them know that the citizens must be at peace at their homes, work and businesses without threats of violence from those who have no regard for human life and human safety.
My dear BVI Citizens,Her Majesty gave you Fundamental Rights and Freedoms:Don't Kill [murder] your fellow citizens:You want to enjoy your life,don't take another person's life:
Section 11 of the V.I Constitution,declares [Protection of Right to life] and Her Majesty's V.I Constitution states:-
[""(1) Every person has a RIGHT to LIFE which shall be protected by LAW-
(2) No person shall be deprived INTENTIONALLY of his or her LIFE""]
If you commit MURDER,you VIOLATE the Fundamental RIGHT of the Murdered-Person,
AND,you further committed a Criminal Offence of MURDER, under section 150 of the BVI Criminal Code.
You were found Guilty of the Crime! Do your TIME!
I am calling on His Excellency,The Governor,Her Majesty's representatives in these beautiful Virgin Islands, to DECLARE a [""Period of Public emergency""] at Her Majesty's Prison,in accordance with section 27 of the V.I Constitution Order 2007,because this convicted MURDERER is about to threaten NATIONAL SECURITY in Her Majesty's BVI-Prison system:
Section 27 of the V.I Constitution states:-[Provisions for period of Public Emergency] Let us all read:-
[""(1) A period of PUBLIC EMERGENCY may be DECLARED by the Governor,by proclamation published in the manner provided in subsection (2), when-
(a) The well-being or SECURITY of the Virgin Islands is THREATENED by war,invasion,general insurrection,PUBLIC DISORDER,natural disaster or other public emergency;and
(b) The DECLARATION is considered NECESSARY by the Governor to maintain or RESTORE PEACE and ORDER""].
In my view and opinion,this convicted MURDERER is a THREAT to other prisoners[INSIDE HER MAJESTY's PRISON] A threat to other prisoners who are doing their time for their crime against Her Majesty's peace, so the Governor should NOT allow this ONE-man to plan any more MURDERS in prison! LOCK DOWN the PRISON,under the [Periods of Public Emergency] Put him a cell by Himself!
Please Governor, put this prison under public emergency lock down,then bring in the HMS Warships,to transport this convicted murderer; to a prison in the UK,where he does not know any of the other prisoners.
I once visited a prison in UK;the prisoners are big in size and they are physically fit and strong.
Other prisoners must be protected.Use section 27 of the V.I Constitution,to control this man.
Bring a war ship to take one person to the UK. My god you people are stupid. Dumbest comment ever.

Let us all read section 15 of the V.I Constitution,which defines [""Protection of right to personal Liberty""]
Her Majesty-The Queen of Buckingham Palace-UK, declared in section 15 of the V.I Constitution,the following as a bestowed RIGHT,but with EXCEPTIONS!:
The V.I Constitution States:-
[""(1) Every person has the RIGHT to LIBERTY and SECURITY of the PERSON-
(2) No person shall be deprived of his or her PERSONAL LIBERTY,save/(EXCEPT) as may be AUTHORIZED by LAW in any of the following cases-
(a) IN THE EXECUTION OF THE SENTENCE or ORDER of a COURT (whether of the Virgin Islands or otherwise) in respect of a CRIMINAL-Offence of which that PERSON has been CONVICTED or in respect of any other ORDER of the COURT""]
So,according to the Constitution,when you are CONVICTED by a Court-of-Law,and you are SENTENCED to Prison, your RIGHT to [Personal Liberty] under the V.I Constitution, is hereby SUSPENDED!
[You have no more RIGHT of Personal Liberty!!!!]
According to section 15 subsection (2) (a) of the V.I Constitution,when you are in Prison at [Her Majesty's Prison] you DON'T have Freedom of personal Liberty!
You are to be LOCKED AWAY from Society:
In BVI Society, persons are allowed to be free!
But when you are in Prison,you are NOT FREE: Prison officers MUST Control you!
Prison is Prison, and Prison means Prison!
Lock up the man in a cell by himself: Make a special 10 x 6 CELL for this DANGEROUS Convicted Murderer!
The V.I Constitution gives Prison officers the AUTHORITY, to LOCK YOU IN A CELL;behind prison Concrete walls [Inside a GAGE!
That is the law of the land,for ALL of you CONVICTED-MURDERER,who MURDERED Her Majesty's Free-Citizens in the BVI!
If he wanted rights he woikd not hav violated that of others....stay talking-if my mother steal/murder an reach bonson anything she get up dere she deserve...party to dat
So what if legal team have no sense? or Legal team is foolish or writes rubbish?
But i am not VEX, i am just happy and free: I am not cursing disturbance in Her Majesty's Free BVI.
If I die now,it will not be because of what you write.
I live my life thinking of death can come anytime.I can die anytime,so I think love,not hate:
so I live happily and I blogg freely. So much verbal abuse, legal team take already?Who cares?
The V.I Constitution-How did it come into force? Let us read!
[It was at the Court at BUCKINGHAM PALACE]
Her Majesty-The Queen, on 13th June,2007,at the Court at Buckingham Palace,Present was the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty in Council, and after advice from Her Privy Council;Her Majesty,grant to Her BVI Citizens,Fundametal Rights and Freedoms,and as declared in section 15 of the V.I Constitution,it is a Right to personal liberty.
But the said section,provides,that if you commit a crime and you are convicted,and sent to prison,YOU HAVE NO LIBERTY IN PRISON:
Read section 15 of the V.I Constitution! And blogg freely of your INTERPRETATION:
Read page 4 , then go to page 10, the latter page (10) is where you will find section 15 in the V.I Constitution:
Blogging for me is like playing sports.I am just enjoying my freedom on VINO: are you VEX?

'15(1) Every person has the right to liberty and security of the person.
(2) No person shall be deprived of his or her personal liberty,save as may be authorised by law in any of the following cases-
(a) in execution of the sentence or order of a court (whether of the Virgin Islands or otherwise) in respect of a criminal offence of which that person has been convicted or in respect of any other order of the court'
To the blogger dummies should nt blogg.I see you blogg to say'legal team has not one sense of legal knowledge whatsoever'. and then you made some other bashing comments about the legal blogger.I worked in a law firm,so I call a lawyer to explain that Constitution law to me.He explain that a prison cell is infact a lawful gage,where you are locked in and people who are sentenced to prison do not have right to personal liberty while the prison sentence is in effect,and prisoners do not have right to vote in general election.He told me that the only right a prisoner has in prison is the 'right to humane treatment' meaning that a prisoner must be treated humanely;but a prison cell is equal to a cage.When you are in prison,you are under lock and key.
I have to say now that the legal blogger know onions about Constitution law.I learn something from the legal blogger,when you in prison,your right to personal liberty is taken away by the law and you are placed in a cage,under lock and key.
Imprisonment ""The confinement of an individual to a particular place,usually in order to PUNISH HIM for a crime:
Any deprivation of [LIBERTY!] ""].
The law dictionary also make reference to an example of Imprisonment:-
[""Status of imprisonment may affect certain (CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS !) ""].
So,I am happy that Her Majesty's Citizens and Residents,who are blogging FREELY on VINO,have the academic qualities,to not listen to talkers and vex-bloggers,but to go and read the V.I Constitution for themselves.
Whenever,I quote a section of the Law,go and read it for yourself.
We must be thankful to VINO,for allowing the bloggers to blogg,because some of the derogotory words levelled at the legal team,are all ineffective-words,and the filthy words from filthy tongue and graveyard throats, will not smell filthy in good air!
Next case:Where is the next breaking news;I want to blogg to make you VEX!
