The new foreigners detention unit at the Caribbean Correctional Institution of the Netherlands (JICN) was officially opened today. The move marks a milestone in the care and detention conditions of foreigners on Bonaire.
During the opening ceremony, speakers stressed the importance of dignity, safety and reintegration in the detention system. “JICN is a sophisticated agency, founded on the principles of relational safety and procedural justice,” said Toon Molleman, Deputy Director of the Prisons and Immigration Detention Unit. “Our goal is not just retaliation.”
The new prison is designed to meet modern detention requirements. It provides adequate living space, good sanitation, ventilation and fresh air. Adequate medical care and psychological support are also available. All of this contributes to a safe and humane detention environment.
This progress is thanks to the efforts of many participants, both locally and from the Netherlands in Europe. “This is a real milestone,” said State Secretary Eric van der Berg. “I pay tribute to everyone who contributed to this new facility.”
The opening of this unit demonstrates the Government’s ongoing commitment to treating foreigners on Bonaire in a humane and fair manner.
