Congrats Guy. Your task will be great, but you can rise to the occasion. Be brave.
The one who does act like the prison is his keep saying how he is the best qualified person for the job. Since he was acting and driving the jeep, he really thought he had the position LOL
Good vibes Unc.
Congratulations to you Mr. Hill right man for the job.
Congratulations to you Mr. Hill right man for the job.

Does it make sense to appoint some one to run a prison who it appears has never before had a senior management role in a prison?
@Lodger…call him and ask him.
@Resident…. you need to shut up and stop hating. Has Andrew Fahie ever run a country?
F** Albert could not even run a Mom & Pop grocery store yet alone a WHOLE country!
@ Resident yes it makes sense because those that are there in management crooked
Hi,
Who would be your choice for the position since you disagree with this one?
@Father…. Did you make the same comment about the current commissioner of police? God isn’t done with native son. guy hill.
@Resident…He has Senior level and above management experience in government, but you can call him and ask him a question. He’s approachable.
good prison needs a good cleanup, he needs to fire half of those officers for corruption
But what does he know about running a prison?
@Lodger…call him and ask him.
What did the other one know who ran it for years, obviously not much.
What did Jaspert or the other governors know about running a territory before they were just chosen without even a vote.
Jeez I wanted him to be the chief of police!
Retired
@And still working…..the current Commissioner of police was retired…Did you have a problem with that? Dam blue belly rat.
AS A FRIEND AM GOING TO WISH YOU ALL THE BEST , BUT I HOPE THAT YOU ARE NOT WALKING INTO AN ANTS NEST . ( TRUST NO SHADOW ?
You mean no senior Officer!!
Congrats sir be brave. Ask God’s guidance and protection daily for the tasks a head.
Mass up the hill now. This guy doesnt play around. It will finally be a real prison.
@Hey… There will be no mass up no Hill from this man. He calls a spade a spade and not even you want to deal with that. Our people are too dam lawless and want to b**ch when they are being corrected. I know this man to be very fair with people, local or foreign doesn’t matter. I wish him all the best. This is our dam country and ALL of us need to protect it, even those that were granted indefinite immigration status.
Be careful Guy. There is a Sr. Prison Officer up there who has a history of undermining every previous Prison boss up there. He is notorious for it.. hHe will pretend to be for you whilst cutting you down behind your back. But God is good all the time.
Mr Hill aint no coward right man for the job everyone that was there were afraid , but i’ll tell you this Mr Hill whenever it comes to searching the prison never let your officers know just communicate it with the police and will be surprise of what you would uncover especially in E wing and check the record book about that 65″ tv on remand block no record just appeared overnight place corrupt especailly the management everyone getting money under hand from the west boss so watch them
Congratulations bro! With God on your side, seize the time. Be brave!
@Resident…. you need to shut up and stop hating. Has Andrew Fahie ever run a country?
I’m not sure that’s the best example to use for the point you’re trying to make.
Yes, watch out for those snakes.
You truly cant keep a good man down, atlease for too long. If mr Hill was treated right from the begining i dont think this place would have been in the mess it is in right now. He has great foresight of what went on and is still going on here,but the Political train was always ready to derail him due to envy,hatred, jealousy and greed. Those things are just temperal, they dont last forever.
Mr Hill you continue to be you, i know you could face whatever comes your way and with God on your side anything and everything is posible.
Face the task,charter your course, and be the best you can be always.
You are our hero you are a true Soldier. You deserve to be respected foryour love for this country, let them see how, and why,. Through this new endeavor we wish you the best, and the greatest of success……….. Blessings galore.
Congrats G..Hill. Word of advice:
[A Friend] is talking truth becareful of pe*** big words he a smart man and will turn all the prisoners on you
I’m sure you’re talking about the “sugar city” one that act like he know EVERYTHING and always bad talking the others
wish you luck, you going to need it
They need to give younger generation a chance these people done retire. Jeze
@Father…. Did you make the same comment about the current commissioner of police? God isn’t done with native son. guy hill.
Gui, congratulations on your appointment as Supt of Prison. Leading and managing a law enforcement organization/agency is a difficult and challenging job; a penal institution more so. Nonetheless, you have and have demonstrated the requisite knowledge, skill, ability and experience to effectively lead and efficiently manage Her Majesty Prison. It is not going to be a walk in the park or a day on the beach. However, stay the course, stay focus, keep your eyes on the prize, be vigilant, stay strong, do the right things……etc. Best of luck.
Real talk and rock solid advice and encouragement. Smooth sailing Guy.
what took them so long and good bye ndp

I will suggest you get as much new officers as possible, with a new mind set onea that you can train your way, those thats there are Leopards, Also look at the possibility of out sourcing the Guard Jobs to a private company..The present system and structure will not work. U will fail..
Congrats….this one of the most pleasant man I ever came across in the bvi.

Congratulation my brother, wish you all the best in your new very challenging job. I do hope you get the support from your Senior Management Team.

Will keep you in my PRAYERS.
