Convicted Police Officer to Serve Sentence at Military Compound Instead of Prison
A convicted police officer in Antigua and Barbuda will serve his one-year jail term at a former U.S. military base instead of the country’s main prison, a move that has raised questions about preferential treatment for law enforcement officials.
An official prison notice confirmed that Officials ordered Officer Karim Warner, who pleaded NOT guilty to recklessly discharging his firearm in public, to be housed at the former U.S. Air Force Base in Coolidge. The facility has been declared an annex of Her Majesty’s Prison, according to the document.
Warner will be placed in room room on one of the blocks on the compound, under strict rules including constant supervision when outside his cell, restricted movements, and no civilian visits without approval.
Warner’s reassignment means he will not face the same conditions as other inmates at the island’s only prison, intensifying public debate over fairness and justice in the nation’s correctional system.
