Escaped Prisoner Jamal Joseph Recaptured In Carenage
The Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) is confirming that inmate Jamal Joseph, who escaped from the Carrera Convict Prison on Friday (14th November, 2025), has been recaptured following a co-ordinated response between Police Officers and the Trinidad and Tobago Prison Service.
In a Media Release today (Tuesday 18th November, 2025), the TTPS notes that around 3:00 PM on Monday afternoon (17th November 2025), Officers of the Carenage Police Station received information from prison personnel that the escaped inmate had been spotted along the Western Main Road, in the vicinity of Tembladora Park. Police Officers on mobile patrol immediately responded to the report and met with Prison Officers already on scene.
According to reports, while driving South along the Western Main Road, around 2:30 PM, a Prison Officer observed an unusual object in the water that aroused his suspicion. Upon checking further, he identified the object as the escaped inmate, who appeared to have sustained multiple injuries during his escape.
The TTPS Officers assisted in escorting the injured prisoner to a medical facility, where he is currently receiving medical attention under the supervision of prison officials.
The TTPS said it “commends the swift action of both Police and Prison Officers, whose vigilance and collaboration led to the safe recapture of the escapee.”
Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the escape are ongoing.
More on this as it becomes available.
