No change in status quo at NOC

Even after repeated recommendations were made for the Ministry of Youth to launch an investigation into the operations of the New Opportunity Corps (NOC) the status quo remains and young girls and boys continue to suffer in an institution that is supposed to rehabilitate   them, APNU member Christopher Jones has said.

“Based on information I received as recent as last night [last Wednesday]…. All of the complaints made by former and current students remain the same. There is still abuse happening at the institution. Children are still being deprived food as punishment and are still be placed in what they call a quiet room,” Jones
