A MOTHER’S LONGED-FOR visit to her daughter at the Government Industrial School (GIS) ended abruptly yesterday when she was reportedly ordered to leave the St Lucy compound by the police.
Michelle Marksman, who went public last month about concerns about the treatment of her daughter, requested the SUNDAY SUN to send a team to the Barrows, St Lucy custodial institution after the aborted visit.
