At the end of the march which will be travelling from Casemates Prison to the new prison site, they plan to present a petition to Health and Social Services Minister the Hon. Quinton Edness.

In a statement released to the press yesterday, the PTA outlined its opposition to the Government plan.

"The West End Primary School PTA is adamantly opposed to the name the `West End Correctional Facility' that has been chosen for the new prison by the Minister of Health and Social Services and Housing, the Hon. Quinton Edness.

"It is our belief that this name is too closely associated with the name of our school. It is very important that every effort should be taken to avoid attaching a stigma to any person, group or institution as this action can have extremely negative effects on the community as a whole,'' the statement read.
