GENERAL INFORMATION

No doubt just looking at the map of the various islands you can see the proximity of Jamaica in relation to South America and North America and importantly, the host of the other islands in the region.  It should then be clear that both drug trafficking and human trafficking is easy.  Jamaica is not landlocked in any way and all its borders are accessible by water and certainly air.

Jamaica is approximately 4,500 square miles in size.
