Prison chief to probe reports of suicide attempt Article by January 13, 2021 Prison authorities will be launching an investigation into the behaviour of a prison officer who is currently in quarantine at a south coast hotel awaiting his COVID-19 test results. Reports reaching Barbados TODAY claimed that the officer had attempted to take his own life but this was refuted by an inside source at the property. The source said the prison officer went on to his balcony and loudly expressed his frustration at the length of time he was being kept in quarantine. “He said he felt like he was going out of his mind. Yes, he was being loud and boisterous about what we are going through, but he never attempted to jump. Some guests saw him and called the police,” said a fellow prison officer who is also in quarantine.
