Glendairy Prison
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glendairy Prison also called "Her Majesty's Prison" was the correctional facility located in the country of Barbados. The prison which housed up to 1,000 male and female inmates was located in Station Hill, Saint Michael. The prison was built in 1855 before being destroyed in a prison uprising on 28 March, 2005. The replacement for Glendairy is slated to open in January 2007 at Dodds, Saint Philip.
