Passa Passa is a weekly street party originating in Kingston, Jamaica.

According to Jamaica Hub, West Kingston Police have denied promoters, hopeful of hosting a dance in Tivoli Gardens to celebrate the birthday of former don Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke, the permit to do so.

The cops communicated their disapproval of the hosting of any dance of that nature in the community during a meeting at the Denham Town Station earlier this week.

Christopher ‘Dudus’ Coke’s birthday is March 13.

Hopefully he can still salvage what’s left of his life and find healing in all of this.

What a sad miscarriage of justice!

The two women are behind bars for committing two separate crimes, and they had separate lives until they arrived as neighbors on the famous death row corridor at the women’s correctional facility in Ocala, Florida.

Carr, who is from Ocala, and Cole, from Jacksonville, Florida, share a similar path. Continue reading “It’s “Life Row” For Two of the Youngest Women on Death Row”
