- Deputy Prime Minister Santia Bradshaw says people on remand should have access to counselling as well as other services offered by the prison service.
Speaking as Parliament debated the Penal System Reform Amendment Act, 2026, she reminded Parliament that people on remand have not been convicted and are therefore protected by the presumption of innocence.
She says time spent on remand should be without opportunities for personal development.
She also raised concerns about lengthy periods on remand caused by delays in the courts. Bradshaw says people should be treated with dignity while their cases are before the courts.

- Government is moving to address what it sees as a gap in Barbados' sentencing laws, particularly how the courts deal with repeat offenders.
Minister of Home Affairs and Information, Gregory Nicholls, says the current law does not always fully account for persistent or similar criminal behaviour.
Speaking in Parliament as he tabled the Penal System Reform Amendment Bill 2026, he said the issue centres on Section 40 of the Penal System Reform Act.
He says the proposed amendment is designed to address that concern, while maintaining the rehabilitative principles of the existing law.
Adding to the discussion, Attorney General Wilfred Abrahams said Government is not seeking a wholesale change to the penal system through this particular amendment.
However, he says it is a necessary amendment, noting that many people are being hauled before the courts for the same offences repeatedly.

Minister of Education Transformation, Chad Blackman, says this is one of the issues being confronted by the education system.
He says while the problem does not affect the entire student population, it is still a cause for concern.
The Minister was speaking in Parliament as members debated the Penal System Reform Amendment Bill.
He says the Ministry is particularly concerned about the effect of drug use on young people's minds and health, at a time when they should be focused on learning.
Mr Blackman says they have been speaking with officials at the National Council on Substance Abuse about how they can work together to address the matter.
The Minister is also placing responsibility on parents and families, particularly when children come into contact with the justice system.

However, Minister of Economic Affairs and Planning, Marsha Caddle, says this does not mean new structures should continue to be built without regard for planning rules.
Ms Caddle says some people have lived for years without running water or adequate sanitation.
She was speaking at the Annual General Meeting of the Barbados Labour Party's St Michael South Central Branch.
She says some informal areas were never designed for residential development, which can create problems for emergency services.
She is warning that continued unplanned construction could also put millions of dollars of investment in water and sewer infrastructure at risk.

At the popular Miami Beach on Sunday, some beachgoers expressed concerns about the amount of sargassum along the shoreline, as well as the strong odour it produces as it accumulates on the beaches.
For some, the seaweed is affecting the overall beach experience, and they are calling for a more effective way to manage the recurring problem.
They also questioned whether efforts are continuing to recycle or repurpose sargassum, turning what is often viewed as a nuisance into a potential resource.
Meanwhile, one businessman says the seaweed has been severely affecting his business, particularly on weekends.
