Dramatic presentation 'View from the Prison Van' geared at stimulating discussion on root causes of violence

The issue of violence and its impact on society will take centre stage with a dramatic presentation and panel discussion at the Arawak House of Culture today.
Under the OECS /USAID Juvenile Justice Project to which Dominica is affiliated, attention is being given to juvenile crime and the Administration of Juvenile Justice.
To this end, Dominica is receiving assistance in the finalization of a number of Family Model Bills among which is a Child Justice Bill. However the presentation tonight is meant to cause the public to reflect on the dangers of crime and violence and their devastating effects on society.
The dramatic presentation titled “View from the Prison Van” will first be dramatized to stimulate discussion. A panel comprising individuals from various backgrounds will be on hand to share different perspectives on the root causes of violence together with participation by persons in attendance.
