Five members of the Prison Visiting Committee will continue in their roles for another three-year period, the Cabinet has confirmed. Their terms run from August 1, 2026, to July 31, 2029.

Heading the panel is Mrs. Nolma Chalwell as Chairperson. Joining her are Mr. Gregory Smith, Mr. Sendrick Chinnery, Mr. Kenrico Wheatley, and Mrs. Sarah L. Potter Washington.

The appointments follow Section 41 of the Prison Rules, 1999. The committee serves as part of the Territory's prison oversight structure, overseeing visits to the facility and reviewing issues related to how inmates are treated and cared for.

Cabinet noted that keeping the same five members in place provides stability for the committee's work over the coming three years.
