prison. The court further ruled that if both fines are paid in full within the stipulated time, no conviction will be recorded against him. His sentence was handed down on on July 15th, 2025, at the Basseterre Magistrate Court by His Honour Reynold Benjamin.
The Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force reiterates its “ zero tolerance” stance onall efforts to introduce contraband into the Federation’s correctional facilities. These acts pose significant threats to the safety and order of the prison system and, by extension, the broader society. As such, all those who attempt to undermine institutional security will be held fully accountable.
