POINTE BLANCHE--The inmates of Pointe Blanche prison who filed an injunction seeking their transfer to safe penitentiaries in Bonaire and in the Netherlands may have lost a battle last week Friday, when the judge declared their case against Country St. Maarten and the Minister of Justice inadmissible, but they are far from defeated. On Monday, their lawyers sent a letter to Justice Minister Anna Richardson in which they set a seven-day ultimatum to bring the circumstances in the prison to an acceptable security and humanitarian level.
