A number of inmates housed at the two correctional facilities in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, will be baptised during two separate baptismal services.
The first service will be conducted this Sunday 28th May at the Belle Isle Correctional Facility, while the other will take place on Sunday 4th June at Her Majesty’s Prisons.
Acting Superintendent of Prisons, Brenton Charles, told NBC news that the baptismal service comes following the decision by a number of inmates to follow Christ during Easter.
The Acting Superintendent said that both services will be conducted by a few local ministers of the Gospel.
Baptismal services are usually held at beaches, but Mr. Charles said that this will not be done for the inmates. The Acting Superintendent of Prisons added that on a daily basis the prisoners do make an effort to change their lives.
Six (6) inmates from the Belle Isle Correctional Facility will be baptised on 28th May, and fourteen (14) at Her Majesty’s Prisons on 4th June.
