The video, which received special mention at the ACA's 10th Annual Film Festival, will be shown at the Corrections Film Festival in St. Louis, Missouri.

A panel of eight judges reviewed 50 entries from prisons across the United States and Canada and cited Bermuda's for its "visual impact and quality.'' It features prison officers explaining the rules and procedures of the prison.

Russ Ford, a specialist nursing officer, headed a nine-member volunteer team that began writing the script and producing the video in August 1993. VSB, ZBM, and Symonds and Symonds video all volunteered their services and assisted with the project.

Dr. Derrick Binns, who is the Transition Coordinator at the facility, and Calvin Hollis, Chief Officer, requested that a video be made which could be used to train staff and inmates.

Prison Commissioner Mr. Edward Dyer, praised the audio-visual team's work.

Currently they are working on a documentary about the history of Casemates and the Dockyard.

POLICE PLAN IMPROVEMENTS POL An estimated $450,000 is needed for renovations to two Police headquarters training facilities.

The first project is an abandoned two-storey British barracks built in the 1800s. The building, which was also used as a school, will be transformed into a training facility. It will house offices, classrooms, and a video library.

It will need to be rewired and have new plumbing, walls, and ceilings installed.

The second project is to restore the old gymnasium next door. The amount of work done there will depend on how much money is spent on the first building.

Plans have also been put forward to repair the Hamilton Police Station in September or October. The expected budget for this project is $300,000.

Although the Police station is occupied the renovations will have to be carried out floor by floor.

In Somerset, there is a tentative plan to relocate the Post Office so the Somerset Police can occupy the entire building.

Legislation has been introduced to remove the need for students and their employers to contribute to the Pension Fund.

The Contributory Pensions Amendment Act 1994 was tabled in the House of Assembly last Friday.

Afterwards, Finance Minister the Hon. David Saul said the proposed amendment would encourage employers to hire students.

"It will make it cheaper to hire.'' He added: "It will be a very useful way of helping students to get jobs during vacation periods.''
