There was a stabbing at the Kolbe Central Prison this morning – and while the injuries are described as superficial, the person involved is major. According to reports, Jermaine "Horse" Garnett was stabbed in the Supermax section of the prison by another inmate. Reports say that he was stabbed in the back of the neck as he returned from a visit. The man holding the "bora" was another inmate who was on recreation time. Notably, the reports say he was stabbed while being escorted by two prison officers. The prison described his wounds as superficial and the KHMH confirms that he has been discharged. He is back in the prison tonight.
But his wife, Pamela Garnett, known as Ms Pam is far from satisfied with that. And that's because the prison buildings are sectioned off to make sure that rival gangs do not encounter each other. But she says Horse Garnett was placed in Tango 10 because the prison regards him as a gang boss – which she says he is not.
Voice of Pamela Garnett
"They are saying that my husband is the leader of Crawl Road and Southside. On that she moved my husband from Tango 9 to Tango 10. So I asked her 'Why?' She said because he needs to go under protection and that is the best place for him right now. If Tango 10 was the best place for my husband; then 'Why did he get stabbed in Tango 10's building?' No one can answer me. If it wasn't for a prison officer I wouldn't have known and I understand that the man could have killed my husband. My husband fought for his life this morning. He explained me to me in front of the prison officer that he fought for his life. He even pulled the 'bora' out of himself. Just because my husband has a murder charge and my son. I have video tape that I could present to the news that shows time and date. You have a letter in your hand Ms. Monica that shows that the people from Princess are ready to testify. At the time of that killing my husband was at Princess at the Russian Roulette table."
Despite her protests, he is back in Tango 10 tonight. He is remanded for the murder of Raheem Requena – a murder which she he has videotaped evidence to prove he is not responsible for – because he was at the casino at the time.
