Many helped me at la moye, from officers, to teachers but in my addiction there is no doubt that I owe my life to her. She knew how to reach us, she wouldn´t buy into any bullshit that we would try to give. She could see through us, due to her own experience and we just couldn’t full her. She would go straight to them point, be assertive, even when we didn’t like it. Those who are now saying that she was bringing things inside, tell them to come forward because its all lies. .... I know..... I tried and asked her, she just laugh gave me a hard time, and put me on my place. Those who are telling she was doing wrong (not talking about what was said in the newspaper because it was her who admitted to it) but all the rest people just say that because some of us just hated when we didn’t get what we wanted. Others say that because she was part of the panel who decided who could get home leave, x.tmas leave, TAG etc. If we asked her she wouldn’t lie and tell us if she had said yes or no at the panel, some started to hate her if she said no and would do anything to denigrate her name. Others (both prisoners and staff are very racist.... big problem in there) and they would do and still say anything against her because she was (apologies for the name but I have heard them cal her many times) ‘a Porki’ in there. <br />I am just stating facts, no gossip: she helped me get my life back and she is hated by many prisoners because she didn’t get things in, hated by some stuff due to her status of well liked and respected and hated by others because she was Portuguese.... In relation to why she spoke to the papers I can only comment on rumours I heard and the rumours are that she done it because a much bigger injustice was going to happened and she just had to come forward.<br />Like the one before, God bless her and thank you for all you have done to me<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-63936526515021440022014-03-03T12:16:07.681+00:002014-03-03T12:16:07.681+00:00Thank you for your comment.

He is out of prison for 6 years now and after living 12 years of hell of seeing him killing himself slowly with drugs, in and out of institutions, last time he was at La Moye my son had Teresa as his counsellor. She done a lot of work with him and many others from group sessions and one to one work, and he is now 7 years in recovery, we have a life that to be honest I never even dreamed it would be possible. I know 4 other families with 2 daughters and 2 sons who came out just before him and other 2 just after him who are also in recovery, working, studying and raising their own families. These families too are eternally grateful for her work. I know there are many others who are also in recovery, others who relapsed and unfortunately and very sadly some have died after relapsing. <br />It is very difficult to stay in recovery in such a small Island; you have no idea unless a member of your family has passed through it. Every time my son would go to town, college, work a meeting, for a coffee, he would have to bump through ‘old mates’ and Teresa gave him the structure and the tools to deal with this and so many other situations, like relationships, getting a job, be a son etc. <br />I also judged her when the paper came out, my son told me “dad, I know her well, I was there, I know the score, she would never had done this unless she had absolutely no other choice”. I learn to believe in my son, trust his judgement and I stop throwing stones.<br />This all story in the papers is very sad, but I had to write how blessed my family and so many others are for having had Ms Rodrigues in their lives. God bless you Teresa and thank you so much for all your work<br />‘A grateful father’<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-74214660739456749822014-03-02T19:43:52.492+00:002014-03-02T19:43:52.492+00:00Not sure where one can find out but we know that s...Not sure where one can find out but we know that she was so well respected that references were not required..Bob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-68810669954036717482014-03-01T17:26:43.824+00:002014-03-01T17:26:43.824+00:00Bob.

I and a couple of other States Members asked literally dozens of questions because we knew that the answers being received were inaccurate.<br /><br />Unfortunately we were made to look like the bad guys because Members got fed up with the repetition of the questions and thought we should drop the matter and accept the Minister's answers.<br /><br />Whilst Senator Le Marquand has a reputation for failing to give accurate answers he is not the only Minister, but they are able to get away with it because all too few Members are prepared to ask questions.Bob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-56334139497143948332014-02-26T12:25:46.610+00:002014-02-26T12:25:46.610+00:00Next Tuesday States sitting must be a sickie for I...Next Tuesday States sitting must be a sickie for ILM, or he will be hiding in the toilet all day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-57886025604241389632014-02-26T12:21:17.997+00:002014-02-26T12:21:17.997+00:00I was reading some notes of yesterday’s JEP and I ...I was reading some notes of yesterday’s JEP and I think that making judgements like «She done it for the money« is rather silly. I have read her CV, all her letters of recommendation from 8 or 10 years working with so many agencies and praised by all. Yes, it seems she was silly enough and highly unprofessional by making a big mistake and gets involved «romantically« with a prisoner. However, that doesn’t take away the amount of work she done for people suffering from addiction and from all I can read about her work she was definitely not stupid to have made this article for money. No way would she ruin her reputation for money, and definitely not against Curtis Warren.<br />Nevertheless, good work on this Blog.

Tadier:<br />Just because something is hard to believe does not necessarily mean it did not happen but leaving that logic aside, can the Minister advise, given the very serious nature of this allegation and the reputational damage it would have for both public confidence in Jersey and possibly outside of Jersey, surely the very minimum that we would expect is a proper review to be carried out which would, at the very least, seek to interview both parties who were alleged to have taken part in this alleged activity. Has that been done, will that be done, and if not, why not?<br /><br />Senator B.I. Le Marquand:<br />"The prisoner has strongly denied this. Frankly, I think that the allegations as set out in the press are very much in the area of fantasy and I really do not think there is any point in wasting public money and time on a review of something which appears to me to be so fantastic and unlikely."<br /><br />It is evident that Senator had either received the information from Curtis Warren or he was misleading the States.<br /><br />If one reads the Mail on Sunday report Ian Gallagher states "It should be stated that Ms Rodrigues claimed to be speaking with the blessing of Warren. But when this newspaper contacted his lawyers, Keith Dyson Solicitors, they said their client did not wish to ‘authenticate the story."<br /><br />Perhaps a States Member will ask Senator Le Marquand where he received the information that " the prisoner has strongly denied Ms Rodrigues' claim."<br />Bob Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01834363721495974167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4596634218626697583.post-22170885600430478102014-02-25T22:54:06.867+00:002014-02-25T22:54:06.867+00:00Hi Bob.
