The Prime Minister commended Chance for helping in the rehabilitation of "those who would have also been lost in the prisons, or, in coming out, been forced to regress into the life of crime that took them astray".
"Transformation of that kind is not an easy thing," she said.
"I know Mr. Chance and all the persons he would have inspired to be rehabilitated over the years would have had to endure significant obstacles, - financial, emotional, societal stigmatization and above all, physiological— for it is truly not easy to change what one perceives to be one’s destiny in life, especially if that perceived destiny is a life of crime," Persad-Bissessar added.
