A high-stakes manhunt has been launched following the escape of Jamal Joseph, a prisoner from Carrera Convict Prison, located on an island off Chaguaramas. Joseph, who was serving a five-year sentence for motor vehicle larceny and was due for release in October 2028, was discovered missing during routine checks at approximately 8:32 pm on November 14. The Trinidad and Tobago Prison Service has activated its emergency response protocols, mobilizing national security agencies, including the TT Police Service, TT Defence Force, and Operational Command Centre, in a coordinated effort to locate and apprehend the fugitive. Joseph is considered armed and dangerous, prompting authorities to urge the public to remain vigilant and report any sightings or information to the nearest police station or the prison hotline at 800-PRSN (7776). Simultaneously, an internal investigation is underway to uncover the circumstances surrounding the escape, as law enforcement intensifies its search efforts.
