****

EIGHT PRISONERS IN STANLEY PRISON WHO ATTAINED DISTINCTIONS IN ALL THE PAPERS THEY SAT IN THE CITY AND GUILDS OF LONDON INSTITUTE TELECOMMUNICATION TECHNICIANS EXAMINATIONS WERE TODAY PRESENTED WITH CERTIFICATES BY THE COMMISSIONER OF CORRECTIONAL SERVICES, MR THOMAS GARNER,

THEY HAD SAT 24 PAPERS IN THE SECOND YEAR EXAMINATIONS HELD LAST JUNE, WHICH CONSISTED OF PRACTICAL MATHEMATICS, ENGINEERING SCIENCE AND ELEMENTARY TELECOMMUNICATION PRACTICE, HE SAID.

+EVERY PAPER CARRIES A DISTINCTION WHICH PROBABLY CREATES SOMETHING OF A RECORD LOCALLY, IF NOT INTERNATIONALLY, FOR THIS LEVEL OF ACHIEVEMENT IN A GROUP,+ MR GARNER SAID AT THE PRESENTATION CEREMONY HELD IN STANLEY PRISON.

HE SAID THEIR ACHIEVEMENT WAS A TRIBUTE TO THEIR INTEREST

AND DEDICATION TO LEARNING.

+ IT AGAIN HIGHLIGHTS THAT A GOOD CORRECTIONAL SERVICE CAN ACHIEVE RESULTS, HE SAID.
