Alleppo To Richmond Farm Prison | St Mary, Jamaica

Richmond Farm Prison is a prison in Jamaica that houses up to 235 first offenders serving long-term sentences. It once incorporated a large banana farm, which was later destroyed. As of 2006, an attempt was under way to regenerate the farm with crops including bananas, corn, calaloo, string beans and cucumber.

Its most famous former ex inmate was Bunny Wailer who spent 14 months there in 1967/8. Other sources indicate Toots Hibbert served a year of an 18-month sentence there in 1966–7.

The Richmond Farm Adult Correctional Centre continues to do well in egg production and has helped the Department of Correctional Services to be self-sufficient in eggs.

The Richmond Farm Adult Correctional Centre is a low-risk Correctional Centre where inmates engage in farming among other activities.
