Her Majesty's Prison (HMP) inmate, Wakima Lettsome was rushed to Peebles Hospital with a stab wound following an alleged altercation at the Balsum Ghut facility this morning, February 28.

Reports indicate that Lettsome received a wound to his chest, but his current condition is unknown.

On February 15, Justice Albert Redhead sentenced Lettsome to 20 years in prison for the shooting of Jonathan Colaire at Crab Lot, known as the Ghetto.

Following a trial on November 9, 2012, Lettsome was found guilty of wounding with intent, but not guilty of the attempted murder of Colaire.

Heck yeah, that is Ratty's prison. He is the head honcho up in that peace.Either the higher ups fear him or they just don't care. He is a lifer, what do he care or what do he have to lose. The only way things is going to be ok in that prison is if they transfer him to a more secure prison some... more
