A WARDER HAS found himself on the other side of the prison bars after “betraying the trust of comrades and undermining the security of Her Majesty’s Prison”.

Shawn McDonald Herbert, 41, yesterday admitted to smuggling a number of photographs and letters in and out of the St Philip jail when he made his first appearance before acting Chief Magistrate Christopher Birch in the District “C” Magistrate’s Court. He was remanded until September 23 and will be segregated from the general prison population.

The Olivies Gap, Tudor Bridge, St Michael resident pleaded guilty to the charge that without lawful authority he gave 11 letters and 29 photographs to a prisoner.

He also confessed to “knowingly suffering” 19 letters to be brought out of the prison and attempting to suffer three letters and one photograph to be conveyed from the same prisoner. (TKS)
