JESUP, Georgia, USA- Word reaching our news centre is that former Premier of the Virgin Islands Andrew A. Fahie has been transferred to another prison facility.

Mr Fahie, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison on August 5, 2024, in relation to cocaine smuggling and money laundering charges but is appealing his conviction, was being held in Miami, Florida.

According to reports, Mr Fahie was recently transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution in Jesup, Georgia.

‘A more relaxed’ medium-security prison

The new facility where Mr Fahie is now being held is a medium-security United States federal prison housing male inmates. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a United States Department of Justice.

According to Wikipedia, Ben Reyes, who served time in the camp for bribery and conspiracy, said that the camp was "a more relaxed, more bucolic facility".

Meanwhile, ‘Iron Lawyer’ Benedict P. Kuehne is representing Mr Fahie during his appeal of his conviction.

The appeal is being heard in the 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals.

    "According to Wikipedia, Ben Reyes, who served time in the camp for bribery and conspiracy, said that the camp was "a more relaxed, more bucolic facility"."

    Me = ????

    Online Dictionary = Bucolic: relating to the pleasant aspects of the countryside and country life.
    Example: "the church is lovely for its bucolic setting"

    Me: Wow, so all I have to do do earn a pleasant stay in the country is be convicted of a serious trans-national crime and file an appeal?

    All this appeal and fighting the System when the system is convinced your guilty they will dispise you. I thought itwasbetter for him to be humble, nice, and serve his time quietly and he would have stand a chance of getting outearly,, Now the system brand him as a problem man thesystem will give him problems. He need to rethink his strategy.
