Claxton Bay correctional holding facility closes

Published 15 October 2026 · Trinbago News Now · Original synthesis from the dated sources below; no independent field reporting claimed.

The Claxton Bay Correctional Facility stopped operating as a correctional holding facility on 14 October, the Trinidad and Tobago Prison Service said in a statement.

Vision on Mission made the premises available during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the service needed additional accommodation to protect inmates and officers. The Prison Service described the closure as the end of that part of its pandemic response.

The statement did not give a current inmate count or set out transfer arrangements.
