A man who has been jailed three times in six years has been told he can’t appeal the length of his latest prison sentence.
Jason Jordan was jailed for three years and six months in September 2020, and for three years and nine months in July 2023.
His past crimes have included burglary and the handling of stolen goods.
Jordan’s latest offending, which included burglary, fraud, and assault on a police officer, came in April 2025 – just weeks after he was released from prison. He is now back at Les Nicolles where he is continuing to serve a six year sentence.
Ahead of his release from prison last year, Jordan kept an internal prison request form which he altered to look like a list of medications he had been prescribed while at Les Nicolles.
His GP believed this was a genuine form and prescribed the medication listed.
Weeks later, Jordan was caught in someone else’s bedroom within shared staff accommodation – while nothing was found to be missing, he pleaded guilty to burglary following a Newton hearing.
During the course of the police investigation into the burglary, Jordan was treated at the Princess Elizabeth Hospital where he tried to hit, spat at, and threatened to kill the police officers who were supervising him.
During his sentencing hearing, Judge Catherine Fooks said that Jordan had “numerous previous convictions going back to your youth”. The court also heard that he had previously been arrested within days of being released from prison and that there is a pattern of committing offences whilst subject to orders or supervision.
In total he was given a six year prison sentence, back dated to his arrest in April last year. This is made up of a two year sentence for the fraud, a three year sentence for burglary, and a one year sentence for the assault, all to run consecutively.
During his recent appeal hearing, Advocate Sam Steel argued that the total six year sentence was excessive.
This was rejected by the Bailiff, who said the overall sentence could have been structured differently but he was satisfied that the total length of time to be served is fair.
