On today’s WTJX Radio NewsFeed: The Bureau of Corrections has pledged to secure the condemned Alva A. Swan Correctional Annex after Senator Franklin Johnson raised concerns that the abandoned facility remained accessible and contained sensitive inmate records. Detectives are working to determine the exact circumstances surrounding the death of a four-year-old boy who died after suffering a gunshot wound on St. Croix. Attorney General Gordon Rhea says it's too early to say whether ongoing government corruption investigations will result in criminal charges or whether those cases will involve public officials, private contractors, or both. Three U.S. Virgin Islands beaches have been ranked among the World's 50 Best Beaches for 2026, with Trunk Bay on St. John earning the title of the world's top beach. Listen to these stories and more.
