Disappearance Of Tools From Bamenda Central Prison Reformatory School

Prince Charles of Wales and Princes Diana (1981)

The Visit of Prince Charles of Wales and Wife (Late) Princess Diana To Cameroon And Particularly To The Juvenile Reformatory School Central Prison Bamenda.
Prince Charles and wife (late) Princess Diana came to Cameroon to inaugurate the workshop of the Juvenile Reformatory School Central Prison Bamenda with its multiple tools.
The mechanical, carpentry, electrical and building construction tools they offered were stocked at that Juvenile Reformatory School workshop worth millions: even you are what kind of a person, you would not spare these Cameroonians who had authority over the prison during the days those tools existed and vanished because the tools are not in this workshop any longer.
We called this wickedness of those who neglected the beautiful gifts of this important personality – Prince Charles of Wales, to the incarcerated boys. The prisoner insists that to the best of his knowledge, the disappearance or the “transfer” of those tools infuriates mostly, those who consider seriously biblical counsels”.
Juvenile Reformatory School Central Prison Bamenda was stocked with books from Our Lady of Lourdes College and Sacred Heart College Mankon respectively. The school had a nice canteen and a well programmed timetable for activities like sports after book work. There were clubs with beautiful names like – Santos, Lions etc; to encourage in many things…the trophies were nicely placed, in a nice glass cupboard. The juvenile delinquency school library had books for those who understood the use of a library.
 The idea of bringing value to reformation initiated by useful minds is jeopardized because of transfer of tools by administrators who happened to meet the workshop with every tool but helped to jeopardized.
Juvenile Reformatory School, being a school with a “big” plan on mechanical, carpentry, electricity or electrical and building construction; although frustrated can these days, follow modern trends with its many advantages reason for this mobilization.
Many inmates or prisoners have graduated from here and despite people’s efforts nothing seem to show progress due to unscrupulous personalities that prove wicked destroying the gifts of a perfect model Prince Charles of Wales, and even these days most of them, they don’t respect efforts of those who know the details of that workshop and the needs nor problems of inmates like us.
There were rabbits and the struggle made by Heifer Project International to take the school as their priority, visiting and instructing those assigned to take care of cows; never received any honour. Can I say, that was a simple way of deviating wrong ideas from Juveniles to reason natural and fear doing wrong of any dimension?
I will suggest that the album of Prince Charles of Wales and Lady Diana be investigated, from the houses of those that have administered in Bamenda Central Prison.
I can’t imagine the visit of a high profile personality like Prince Charles to be allowed to disappear when I personally know it existed…the presence of the album for me, is important since it can encourage the students or the incarcerated ones.      
General Ivo Yenwo who is in charge of security at the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon is a witness to that visit. He personally guided the guest being a colonel that year.
