Convicted actress Rosemond Brown popularly known as Akuapem Poloo will serve 60 days of her 90-day prison term if she behaves well in jail, PRO of the Prisons Service has said Akuapem Poloo was last Friday handed a custodial sentence after she pleaded guilty for three charges including publishing of obsene materials involving her seven-year-old.
However, her lawyer has since filed a notice of appeal and an application for bail pending appeal which is expected to be heard on Wednesday by the High Court. Speaking on Monday, Chief Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Prisons Service Courage Atsem said persons convicted for non-first degree felony offences are qualified for what he described as a one-third remission sentence.
“There is what we call one-third remission and some offences that qualify one to be given one-third remission of the sentence. What this means is that, if your offence is the type that qualifies you to be given one-third remission then your total sentence is computed and a third of it is deducted and you do the two-third. So, for instance if you say three months, then quickly if you do the calculator, one-third of it would be a month out of three months.
