In commenting on the escape of thousands of prisoners following a gang attack on the National Penitentiary in Haiti on Saturday, I do so with firsthand knowledge of the facility… albeit not recent. Some years ago I set out to help a troubled young Haitian orphan named Emmanuel, but despite the best efforts of myself and several friends, he ended up in this particular prison as a young adult. It was in this context that I visited the jail several times.
