Jarvis said he gave no permission to publish his works

JUNIOR JARVIS, an inmate at His Majesty’s Prison (HMP), who is the main contributor to the publication “Written: Poetry and Prose by Inmates of His Majesty’s Prisons, St. Vincent and the Grenadines” said he will be contesting the publishing deal given to him and other inmates.

“Written: Poetry and Prose by Inmates of His Majesty’s Prisons, St. Vincent and the Grenadines” was officially launched by HOBO JUNGLE PRESS yesterday, Thursday, February 26, 2026 at the University of the West Indies (UWI) Open Campus.

Jarvis said the book has been on sale since November, 2024 and is quite popular, but the money being paid/offered to him and other inmates does not match the popularity of the book. The book is the culmination of works completed by inmates, who participated in a 13-week writing workshop conducted by David “Darkie” Williams at HMP, Kingstown in 2024.
