Belize Central Prison Plans to Renew Kolbe Foundation Contact

Last week, we reported that the contract between the Kolbe Foundation, which has been managing the Belize Central Prison since 2002, and the government of Belize had not been renewed. This left many wondering about the future management of the prison. However, Minister of Home Affairs Kareem Musa cleared things up today, announcing that a meeting was held to renew the contract and address the concerns of both parties. Here’s more on that.

“Whenever there is the ending of the contract we do have a discussion with Kolbe Foundation on the way forward. We’re actually having that meeting right now as we speak. My CEO is there. Meeting with them and I’m heading over there to see and both sides have concerns in terms of the management. And so we are, we’re going to see if we can renew that contract.”
