On July 29, 2007, Siccaturie Alcock aka Jah Cure, will be released on parole after being convicted in 1997 for rape. With his growing musical popularity, it seems so many people are anxiously awaiting his release from prison. However, not everyone is looking forward to his parole. After gaining such support and acclaim from his songs, it comes as a surprise that posters advertising Curefest, a three day event that will be held in his honor, are being targeted for vandalism.
It has been reported that they are isolated incidences but it is strangely coincidental that more than one of the same poster has been damaged or destroyed in different regions of the parish. Although many maintain that Jah Cure's popularity in Jamaica is not in question, it will be interesting to see how people continue to react to his expected parole.
