Buju punished for sharing food in prison

Buju Banton.






















Citing health concerns, the attorney for reggae star Buju Banton wants his client moved out of the Pinellas County Jail where he has been since December.


David Markus, Banton's attorney, filed an emergency motion for bond with the federal courts on Monday afternoon.

The hearing is set for 10 a.m. this Friday.

The motion says Buju Banton, born Mark Myrie, has lost 40 pounds and not been provided with a diet in accordance with his religious view.

The 36-year-old, Jamaican-born singer is a Rastafarian, a religion that places importance on a vegetable and fruit based diet.

Last Thursday, Buju Banton was moved from jail's general population area to a higher security section-- a punishment for giving his food to another inmate. 

Pinellas County Sheriff's Office spokesman Sgt. Tom Nestor said "The inmate handbook says you are not to be trading food or handing out food" as "Food is considered currency". 

But since the move, Banton's "physical and mental health has been rapidly deteriorating," Markus said. 

The Grammy-nominated reggae artist is charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than five kilograms of cocaine, accused of participating with two associates in a drug deal in early December to buy cocaine from undercover federal agents in Sarasota. 

Banton did not seek a bond when he originally was incarcerated because of his immigration status.

He is in the United States on an entertainer's visa.

If he is awarded a bond, he will be immediately taken to an immigration detention facility. 

The state's two immigration detention facilities are in South Florida at least four hours from Tampa.

U.S. marshals would have to transport Banton back and forth for hearings at Tampa's federal courthouse, Markus said. 

Despite the distance, Banton and his attorney believe the move would be better for his health. 

"We need him to be treated humanely," Markus said.
