Deportees refuse £5,000 - Breaking & Current Jamaica News - JamaicaObserver.com

Deportees refuse £5,000 - Breaking & Current Jamaica News - JamaicaObserver.com: "number of Jamaican women facing deportation from Britain have refused that country's offer of £5,000 to assist them to re-settle in their homeland before their prison sentences end, fearing that accepting this money will jeopardise the chances of winning their deportation appeal.
The money, given under what is called a 'facilitative return scheme', is to be used by the deported women for housing or income generating purposes.
St Rachel Ustanny, executive director of Hibiscus Jamaica, a programme to help deported women in Jamaica, said some of the organisation's clients, all women who have completed their prison terms and sent back to Jamaica, have refused the monetary assistance despite not having an income and a home to return to. They have instead opted to live in the 'hope' of one day being allowed to return to the UK to appeal their deportation.
'Clients refuse it because they feel if they take the money they won't be able to return to the UK because accepting it means they will not be able to appeal their cases,' Ustanny told the Observer."
