4 Months in Prison for Breaking Quarantine in Cayman Islands

[divinh]

She's back in the States, having served 32 days of the two month sentence, reduced from 4 months. She'll be on Good Morning America tomorrow to tell her side.

Hope there is some honesty in “her side”.

We’ll see - but I’d bet she’ll play it as she was the poor victim and made a simple mistake. Unfortunately, personal responsibility and accountability doesn’t seem to be a thing with many these days...

In hindsight, I bet that you’re wrong. Sounded pretty contrite to me.

She acknowledges during the televised interview that she made a "selfish decision." I think she was sincere.

Left out that she planned it.

I was pleasantly surprised that she did not just flat play the victim card. However, I still don't get the sense that she fully gets that what she did was all that bad - but she got caught. I say that for 2 reasons: 1: she still struggled to admit the basic fact that she knew she was breaking the law when she removed her bracelet and 2: She still talked about that she tested negative and didn't think there was a risk if she socially distanced at the beach when the reports are that she absolutely did not socially distance (so still trying to rationalize her bad choice).

However, that said, she at least displayed some appearance of being contrite and I would imagine she did learn a lesson by serving some time in jail (though not clear why they released her so early - but that's GC's choice).

In most places including the US you don't serve the full amount.
