		Jamaica’s growing HIV/AIDS epidemic is unfolding in the context of widespread violence and discrimination against people living with and at high risk of HIV/AIDS, especially men who have sex with men.
		The children are often held in the same cells as adults accused of serious crimes, vulnerable to victimization by their cellmates and to ill-treatment by abusive police; and virtually always, they are held in poor conditions, deprived of proper sanitary facilities, adequate ventilation, adequate food, exercise, education, and basic medical care.
		Sadly, the Jamaica Constabulary Force (the police), judges, lawyers, and social workers are all aware that children, especially those from lower-income groups, are regularly held in police lockups.

	Grant v The Queen [2004] UKPC 27 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Parliament of Jamaica had been competent since independence to enact legislation limiting or abolishing appeals to the Privy Council, but if it involved an alteration to the Constitution the abrogating legislation must comply with the provisions made in the Constitution regarding such alteration.
		On its face, the evident purpose of s 110(3) was confined to ensuring that the rights of appeal to the Board conferred by s 110(1) and (2), which made no mention of the Board's right to grant special leave, were not to be taken impliedly to exclude or affect the latter right.
		It followed that the Parliament of Jamaica was able by ordinary legislation to exclude the right of appeal by special leave, as it had by enacting s 21A(3) of the Judicature (Appellate Jurisdiction) Act, and the petitioner was unable to appeal to the Board.

	Their homophobia is our fault by Decca Aitkenhead 05 January 2005
		It's a failure to recognise 400 years of Jamaican history, starting with the sodomy of male slaves by their white owners as a means of humiliation.
		Jamaica was one of the most scandalously misgoverned of Britain's colonies, and since independence we've been helping ourselves to its workforce, while stigmatising it for exporting drugs and yardies.
		Every ingredient of Jamaica's homophobia implicates Britain, whose role has maintained the conditions conducive to homophobia, from slavery through to the debt that makes education unaffordable.

		That is a question requiring a long answer, but essentially try to make Jamaica into a place that is hospitality to investment among other things by cultivating a strong work ethics and as far as possible reducing the exorbitant cost of government among other things by drastically reducing if not all together eliminating corruption.
		Paulwell, the Minister, was right when he said in Parliament that Jamaica is not a place that is friendly to investment and the reason why they got into the business of NetServ in the first place is related to that fact.

		Regardless of how insignifigant Jamaica's marijuana laws may seem in the great scheme of the world's affairs, I believe that decriminalizing the sacred herb there will be a MAJOR crack in the dam of prohibition everywhere.
