The young Georgia woman who was jailed for just over a month in the Cayman Islands for knowingly violating coronavirus restrictions said “I deserved it,” according to media reports.
Speaking to ABC News, Skylar Mack, 18, a student from Loganville, Georgia, admitted to flouting the Caribbean territory’s mandatory two-week quarantine period during a November visit.
“The anger, the disappointment it’s all justified,” she said. “I deserved it. I was like, ‘You know what? I made this mistake, and it sucks, but you did it to yourself.”
“I mean, it was a conscious decision of being like, you know what but I also was just… I don’t I can’t give you a good reason for it,” Mack said.
