Skylar Mack
Senators David Perdue (R-GA) and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) sent a letter to Acting Consul General of the U.S. Embassy in Kingston, Jamaica, on behalf of Skylar Mack, an 18-year-old college student from Georgia currently detained in the Cayman Islands.
Ms. Mack is under a two-month sentence for violating her quarantine to go watch her boyfriend compete in a jet ski competition.
She initially got 40 hours of community service and a $2,600 fine. After an appeal by prosecutors, it was raised to four months in prison. A further appeal trimmed that to two months. She has served a week.
