Corrections Officers Get Turned Out Working in prisons

Nurse Tony Posing for Prison Bitch Position Gets Anal Party

 

Prison nurse who abused female inmates and did ‘everything he could to avoid being caught’ will spend decades behind bars

A 39-year-old former prison nurse in Oregon will spend the next three decades behind bars for sexually assaulting nine female inmates during his tenure with the state’s department of corrections.

U.S. District Court Judge Michael H. Simon on Tuesday ordered Tony Daniel Klein to serve a sentence of 30 years in federal prison plus an additional five years of supervised release for his egregious abuses of power and authority, prosecutors announced.

A federal jury in July found Klein guilty on 17 counts of depriving his victims of their constitutional right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment by sexual assault as well as four counts of perjury.

“The sentence in this case should send a significant message to any official working inside jails and prisons across our country, including those who provide medical care, that they will be held accountable when they sexually assault women inmates in their custody,” Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a statement following the sentencing hearing. “Women detained inside jails and prisons should be able to turn to medical providers for care and not subjected to exploitation by those bent on abusing their power and position.”

Klein served as a nurse at the Coffee Creek Correctional Facility in Wilsonville, Oregon, which is about 17 miles south of Portland. Part of his role as a nurse at the all-female prison was interacting with inmates seeking medical treatment and also dealing with inmates who worked in the prison’s medical unit as orderlies.

“Aided by his access to the women and his position of power as a corrections employee, Klein sexually assaulted or engaged in nonconsensual sexual conduct with many female inmates entrusted to his care,” prosecutors wrote in a press release. “By virtue of his position as a medical provider, Klein was often alone with his victims and assaulted many before, during, or after medical treatment.”

According to federal prosecutors, Klein “manufactured” reasons to be alone with the inmates who worked in the prison’s medical unit, often taking them to secluded areas such as janitor’s closets, medical rooms, or areas blocked by medical curtains, where he would then sexually assault them. Making matters worse, Klein “made it clear” to his victims that he held a position of power over them, convinced them they would not be believed if they reported the sexual assaults, and threatened retaliatory punishment if they made any attempts to report the abuse.

“Fearing punishment if they fought back against or reported his conduct, most of Klein’s victims submitted to his unwanted advances or endured his assaults,” the release states.

The four counts of perjury stemmed from Klein giving false testimony during a 2019 deposition in a federal lawsuit filed by the victims he sexually assaulted while working at the prison.

“We know this prison sentence cannot undo the trauma Tony Klein inflicted on numerous victims, but we hope this brings them one step closer to healing,” Kieran L. Ramsey, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Portland Field Office, said in a statement. “As a state prison nurse, Klein abused his position and abused multiple women, violating the public’s trust, while doing everything he could to avoid being caught.

“The investigators and prosecutors should be applauded for their efforts to hold Klein accountable, but we recognize this lengthy sentence is also because of a group of brave women who came forward and helped ensure that Klein was held accountable for being a sexual predator within Coffee Creek Correctional Facility,” Ramsey said.

Klein had been facing a maximum possible sentence of life in prison.

Girl Gone Wild in Prison Sex Performance Gets 7 Months

 

Female corrections officer jailed for sex with inmate in view of 11 others



  Tina Gonzalez's former boss called for her to get the maximum sentence of three years and eight months in prison.Fresno County Sheriff's Office

  A female California corrections officer with a “depraved mind” has been jailed for reportedly having sex with an inmate — in full view of 11 other jailbirds.

Tina Gonzalez, 26, even cut a hole in her uniform pants — to make it easier to have sex in Fresno County Jail, her sentencing hearing was told on Tuesday, according to The Fresno Bee.

Her former boss, Assistant Sheriff Steve McComas, told the court that he had witnessed many “pretty disgusting things” during his 26-years on the job — but nothing as shocking as hearing of Gonzalez’s sex session in full view of other inmates.

“That is something only a depraved mind can come up with,” McComas told the court, according to the local paper.

Gonzalez — who quit after being arrested in May last year — also supplied the same inmate with razors, a cell phone and advance warnings when his cell was going to be searched, the reports said.

“She took an oath which she betrayed and in doing so endangered her coworkers’ lives,” McComas said.

“But she has shown no remorse. She continually calls and has sexually explicit conversations with the inmate in question and boasts about the crimes she carried out,” he told the court, according to the Bee.

Gonzalez pleaded no contest in April to sexual activity by a detention facility employee with a consenting inmate, as well as possessing drugs or alcohol, and a cell phone to give to an inmate, the outlet said.

Fresno County Jail

Her former boss called for her to get the maximum sentence of three years and eight months in prison.

But Judge Michael Idiart noted her early plea and lack of criminal history as he sentenced her Tuesday to seven months in the county jail followed by two years of probation.

“I think what you did was terrible, stupid and you have ruined your career,” Idiart told Gonzalez.

“But I also believe that people can redeem themselves and you have the rest of your life to do that. Good luck,” the judge told her.

Prison Guard Goes From a 2 to a 10 Crossing the Guard Line

  

Why Do Female Prison Guards Keep Having Sex with Inmates?


  We asked a female corrections officer and a longtime prisoner for some perspective on why and how inmates manipulate the people who are supposed to be overseeing them.
 As incarceration numbers have
topped out in recent years thanks to what looks like the beginning of the end of the war on drugs, women have gained a stronger foothold in the prison industry, getting jobs that—like so many others in America—have traditionally been dominated by men.

  But along with that progressive change has come a steady drip of lurid tales about sex between guards and inmates. Last week, Ciara Jones, a guard at the St. Louis City jail, was charged with three counts of sexual contact with an inmate, each punishable by up to four years in prison.

  We probably shouldn't be too shocked, though. There is no rule, regulation, or state of affairs a savvy prisoner cannot subvert. This has been proven many times over and is confirmed when you talk to long-time inmates.

  "I love when I see a new, young, and naive female working in prison," says a convict we'll call Mack.

  Mack has spent the better part of the last 20 years in and out of state and federal prison. He's in his 40s, a born-and-bred criminal who is all about what others can do for him in the here and now. I met many people like Mack during my 21 years of incarceration—sharks who prey on the vulnerable, exploiting anyone who fits the bill to their own nefarious ends. Fans of HBO's Oz will recall that   Ryan O'Reilly, the Machiavellian character played by Dean Winters—the guy in all those Allstate insurance TV spots—had sex with at least one guard to secure advantages inside.

  "It doesn't even matter if she is pretty. I mean that helps, but all that matters is if she is game," Mack says. And by "game," Mack means being down with whatever he wants the guard in question to do—bring in contraband items like tobacco, cell phones, and drugs, or even have sex with him.

It starts out with a little flirting at mail call, or asking a guard if her office needs cleaning. Then the prisoner can start asking for little favors like being allowed to eat early, or for the guard to look something up on the internet.

  But how do guards let themselves get involved with their charges?

"I believe that a lot of times the females that engage in this type of ethical suicide have major issues going on with themselves before they are even hired," Tamara, a former corrections officer who has moved into prison administration at a Midwestern facility, tells VICE. "A lot of them are single mothers who are looking to fill a void in their lives, whether it be not having a spouse, or a father figure on the outside." And convicts like Mack know how to play right into that.

  "Shit, I can be their daddy, I can be their man, their boyfriend, best friend or whoever they need me to be," he says. "As long as they get me what I want I can be whatever and whoever they need me to be. It's all a game really, a tradeoff. I know nobody does nothing for free, and if I got to sex one of these broads down to get her to bring stuff in to me, than you know what time it is." With minimal training, some of these women are being thrown into the lion's den without the tools to succeed. And the hiring practices of prisons don't help the situation.

  "A lot of people that choose to work in corrections really shouldn't be working in corrections and probably wouldn't be if every employer did psychological evaluations in addition to background checks," Tamara says. "Nowadays, it's all about what I [the guard] can get out of it."   That feeds right into the convict's mentality of, What can you do for me right now. It's all about instant gratification. And like Mack says, it's a tradeoff.

  "If she wants sex and attention for drugs and phones, that is a fair trade in my world," Mack says. "I am just trying to make some money because money equals power and in here, power is respect. I am trying to do the time, not let the time do me. And female diversions are nice, especially when they help me keep my rackets going." The correctional officer might see herself as the one in control of the situation because she is the one with the keys, but sometimes they're just getting played.

  "I hate to say it, but a lot of correctional officers, male and female, have low self- esteem," Tamara says, which can lead to them befriending or starting relationships with inmates.

  But female guards who get caught up in all this are paying a price. I saw numerous female guards lose their jobs and get walked out of the prison during my incarceration. A lot of this sort of thing is swept under the carpet by prison officials, leaving fellow guards to speculate about what exactly inspired the dalliance.

  According to Tamara, the appeal is "a combination of getting away with something that is forbidden, the rush of being with someone as hardcore as an inmate, and the false sense of control that they think they have over the situation [but] not necessarily over the inmate. They may have lost all sense of control over every other aspect of their lives, and this form of relationship is something they think they have control over by not getting caught by their superiors or other inmates."

  With better training, higher standards, and the proper psychological evaluations, these episodes might be prevented. And they should be stopped, because the only ones benefiting are the most manipulative portion of America's massive prison population.

Fulton County detention officer accused of inappropriate behavior with inmate!


 ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - A former detention officer with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office is facing more than a dozen charges after being arrested on March 20.

 Sheriff Patrick Labat says 36-year-old Kawana Jenkins is charged with two counts of improper sexual contact by employee or agent, five counts of violation of oath by a public officer, two counts of reckless conduct, two counts of cruelty to inmates, and one count of obtain/procure/give inmate prohibited item without authorization. 

   The sheriff’s office says Jenkins is accused of inappropriate behavior with a male inmate. The incident, which led to her termination and subsequent arrest, was videotaped in a contraband cellphone that was seized during a shakedown of the Fulton County Jail. Upon confirmation that Jenkins was the subject in the video, she was terminated and charged in relation to the crimes committed.

“As Sheriff of Fulton County, I am committed to transparency and to holding each and every employee accountable to oath they have taken to protect and serve our community.” Fulton County Sheriff Patrick “Pat” Labat said in a statement. “The actions of this one individual are certainly not a reflection of the men and women of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office. The vast majority of employees are to be commended for their integrity, commitment to service and the work they do day in and day out.”

Jenkins had been employed with the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office since December 2019.

FNN: Daniel Holtzclaw OKC Cop Accused of 13 Rapes Verdict Live

With all the civil cases against him dismissed, former Oklahoma City police officer Daniel Holtzclaw is vowing from prison to resume his fight against his criminal convictions.

"I still hope and believe that justice will prevail," he said for a news release emailed to the media by his sister.

Holtzclaw was accused of sexually assaulting 12 Black women and a then-17-year-old Black girl between December 2013 and June 2014 while a police officer — on duty and off. Jurors in December 2015 convicted him of sexual offenses involving eight victims.

He was sentenced to 263 years in prison.

A dozen accusers sued him, and the city, in 2016 in Oklahoma City federal court. One dropped out in 2017. The other 11 plaintiffs dropped their efforts against him after U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton threw the city out of the case.

"Now we can take all the good evidence we gained in the civil case and get busy with post-conviction efforts," Holtzclaw said after the last seven plaintiffs dismissed all claims against him Wednesday.

"Fighting wrongful convictions is brutal. I hear about new supporters every week and am grateful for people with open minds who are willing to look at the facts of my case and the flawed investigation that stripped my freedom and put my family in a prison of their own."

The civil trial had been set to begin in October. Two of the plaintiffs have appealed the ruling in favor of the city.

The judge in December ruled the plaintiffs had insufficient evidence that the city was to blame for Holtzclaw's actions.

"Plaintiffs’ evidence does not support an inference that there was a practice of the OCPD responding inappropriately to allegations of sexual misconduct by its officers or that there was some deficient practice as to their supervision such as would support a conclusion of deliberate indifference. At most, they suggest instances where, with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight, the OCPD might have done something better or quicker, but that is not the standard," the judge wrote.

An attorney for two of the plaintiffs said they did not go to trial because they would never have collected any judgment against Holtzclaw.

"It's not a matter of there not being good evidence that Holtzclaw engaged in the wrongful act," attorney Mark Hammons said. "It's just, we get a judgment against him, he's in jail and going to be in jail for a long time."

Judge suggests former officer's accuser seek settlement in civil case

Even though he ruled in favor of the city, the judge in January told the plaintiffs and the city's attorneys to try to reach a settlement.

"You would think that the city might in this circumstance say, 'Hey, that's our employee who did the wrongful actions and, therefore, we're going to do something to help compensate for that wrong.' But the city said, 'No. We don't care,'" Hammons said.

"They didn't offer anything at the settlement conference. They didn't offer a dime."

Holtzclaw, now 35, has found support for his innocence claim. He lost at the U.S. Supreme Court in 2020 when justices refused to consider his complaints about his trial.

The refusal meant his 18 convictions for rape and other sex crimes stand.

Among the evidence Holtzclaw may raise in a new appeal is testimony in 2018 in one of the civil cases. In a deposition, one plaintiff said repeatedly "he didn't touch me."

The statement contradicted the woman's testimony at the criminal trial that he touched her breasts with both hands skin to skin for a few seconds. He was convicted of one count, sexual battery, based on that testimony.

Criminals Cops Are Running the Prison System in georgia

Governor Kemp is too stupid to change the system!

  

GDC Commissioner Tyrone Oliver Is in Way Over His head!


Georgia is a law-and-order state. But inside the state’s prisons, law and order can be hard to find.

GEORGIA PRISON CORRUPTION: First in a series

Hundreds of GA prison employees had a lucrative side hustle: They aided prisoners’ criminal schemes


By Danny Robbins and Carrie Teegardin, The Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionSeptember 21, 2023


  Inside Georgia’s prisons, wave after wave of prison employees have become criminals themselves — smuggling in contraband or allowing others to do it and at times pocketing payoffs in the thousands, an Atlanta Journal-Constitution investigation found.

  Prisoners have run elaborate drug-trafficking networks and cybercrime schemes as well as extortion and other criminal enterprises, all with the help of the contraband supplied by dirty guards, nurses, cooks and even high-ranking officers. The widespread corruption has fueled violence inside the prisons and at times enabled stunning crimes victimizing people on the outside.

  According to the state, outsiders, not employees, are largely to blame for contraband. Prisoners’ friends, family and gang associates are responsible for providing most of the phones, drugs and other prohibited items, Georgia Department of Corrections officials said.

  Commissioner Tyrone Oliver said he has taken steps to identify corrupt staff since being named to the post in December. “Once we know that they may be compromised, and we get that information, we deal with it and we get them out of there,” he said.

  But the overwhelming dynamic facing the Department of Corrections is this: As fast as dirty officers are arrested, new ones take their places. That leaves the department, the state’s largest law enforcement agency, “in a cycle of ‘whack a mole,’” according to indictments earlier this year in a multimillion-dollar contraband scheme at Smith State Prison.

This story is part of the first installment in an ongoing series about Georgia’s prison system. For more:

Interview: Georgia Department of Correction Commissioner Tyrone Oliver takes our questions

  In its investigation, the AJC uncovered more than 425 cases in which GDC employees have been arrested since 2018 for crimes on the job. Some were charged with brutality, extortion or sexual assault. But most arrests — at least 360 — involved contraband. In 25 additional contraband cases, employees were fired but not arrested.

  Some of those employees were paid thousands of dollars before they were caught in schemes that went on for months and even years, the newspaper’s investigation found. Those who were prosecuted rarely faced prison time. Some weren’t prosecuted at all.

  In 2021 at Rutledge State Prison, a cellphone seized from an inmate showed a series of payments to a correctional officer, Promise Tucker. Confronted by the warden, Tucker admitted she would buy a can of tobacco for $40 and sell it to a prisoner for $500. A pack of Newport cigarettes, she said, could be sold for $200 to $250.

Asked by the warden how long she’d been smuggling in these items, she said she’d been doing it since she became a cadet 14 months earlier. She resigned in lieu of termination.

  In 2019, a correctional officer at Calhoun State Prison, Temperess Johnson, was caught attempting to smuggle eight cellphones and a large haul of meth — 2.6 pounds — in a GDC van taking prisoners to medical appointments. She was due to receive $10,000, she told authorities. She was sentenced to five years in federal prison.

  During a four-month period in 2018, Voltaire Pierre, a correctional officer at Hays State Prison, received $7,000 for bringing in pot, cocaine and meth in noodle soup containers. He was sentenced to more than eight years in federal prison.

  “We have got a chronic, persistent issue in the state of Georgia of bad apples within the Department of Corrections doing all sorts of things. It’s a problem we’re dealing with every day,” said T. Wright Barksdale, a Georgia prosecutor whose district includes several prisons.

  Correctional officers are sometimes corrupt on Day One, recruited by gangs to take prison jobs. In other cases, employees are enticed or coerced, once they are in the company of prisoners, into smuggling drugs and phones, issuing warnings about upcoming shakedowns, helping launder money, unlocking doors or looking the other way when drones drop contraband.

  In truth, the environment created by the department makes corruption almost inevitable. Staffing levels are abysmal. Turnover is constant. Typical new officers are young women with no experience in law enforcement who are thrust into overwhelming jobs where they must contend with chaos and violence.

  A murder indictment describes widespread problems with Georgia Department of Corrections employees smuggling in contraband. The indictment called efforts to stop the corruption "a cycle of 'whack a mole' investigations." The murder case stemmed from a contraband enterprise at Smith State Prison.A murder indictment describes widespread problems with Georgia Department of Corrections employees smuggling in contraband. The indictment called efforts to stop the corruption "a cycle of 'whack a mole' investigations." The murder case stemmed from a contraband enterprise at Smith State Prison.

  And many struggle financially. Despite recent salary increases, correctional officers in Georgia are paid less than those in many other states. Even Alabama, where the prison system has a history of low salaries and deplorable conditions, now pays significantly more.

   Jose Morales, a retired Georgia prison warden, said he saw those circumstances play out when he was working in prisons across the state.

  “When you’re making chump change, so to speak, and then these inmates offer you large sums of money just to bring in an item, and these are young, impressionable (employees, often with kids,)..., those factors add up to where they need more money to survive,” he said.

“And so, they take the bait.”

  Among the instances of corrections officers smuggling items into Georgia prisons, two officers were caught bringing Hot Pockets stuffed with meth and tobacco in Calhoun County. In another case, an officer at Hancock State Prison was caught at the entrance with three Aquafina water bottles with the seals broken and the liquid discolored. The bottles were found to contain compartments filled with meth, pot, ecstasy and hydrocodone.Among the instances of corrections officers smuggling items into Georgia prisons, two officers were caught bringing Hot Pockets stuffed with meth and tobacco in Calhoun County.

Hot Pockets and meth

  The corruption within Georgia’s prison system is so pervasive, employees of all stripes — from cooks to lieutenants — are arrested on almost a weekly basis for moving drugs, phones and other contraband.

  Over three days in January, four employees working at four different prisons were charged in contraband cases, the AJC found. Among those caught: the food service director at Central State Prison, who was alleged to have concealed pot and meth inside a bag of chips.

  At Calhoun State Prison, the AJC found, since 2018 at least 19 employees have been caught bringing in contraband.

  In one case, two officers tried to smuggle meth and tobacco stuffed into Hot Pockets packages. In another, a cadet brought a cooler containing cocaine and pot into a control room. In yet another, an administrative assistant tried to bring in more than a quarter pound of meth and was found to have more at the Econo Lodge where she had left her 10-year-old son.

  Josh Hilton, the Calhoun County sheriff, said the prison’s remote location has always made it difficult to hire capable officers, even with state pay raises.

  “Being in a less populated area in Southwest Georgia, the pickings are slimmer,” he said. “Most good, hard-working people are not going to quit their jobs to work at the prison. It’s a younger crowd, easier influenced.”

  Most correctional officers want to protect the community and help people get better and return to society, said Hugh Hurwitz, a prison management consultant and a former acting director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. But working in a short-staffed prison — as most prisons in Georgia are — can create an environment conducive to smuggling contraband, he said.

  Officers might be working double shifts, making it more likely they will miss or overlook things, or people with dubious qualifications might be brought on board to fill the schedule, Hurwitz said. “In every field, you have got some people that really don’t belong there,” he added. “But when it happens in corrections, people’s lives are on the line.”

  An ongoing federal prosecution focusing on the flow of drugs in and out of South Georgia prisons reflects the scope of the problem.

  According to the government, the operation was controlled by the Ghost Face Gangsters, a white supremacist gang. It extended to at least 10 South Georgia counties, both inside and outside prisons. Among those implicated: an officer who seemed to be the face of how well a career with the GDC could go.

  Desiree Briley was just two years out of high school when she started in 2016 as an officer at Telfair State Prison. She was promoted to sergeant in 2020, then began training for greater responsibility as a K-9 handler. On her Facebook page, the 26-year-old mother of two proudly shared each of her steps upward, responding to one post: “I promise I’m not going to let nobody down.”

  But even she was corrupted. In August, Briley was sentenced to 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to her role in the massive drug trafficking network. For at least two years, the investigation found, Briley helped a prisoner, James Dylon NeSmith, smuggle meth into the prison and distribute it.

  NeSmith, serving a life sentence for murder, began dealing drugs when he entered the prison system, to provide money for his family, his attorney, Justin Maines, told the AJC.

  Although Operation Ghost Busted, as the government dubbed it, is a sprawling case, Maines said the dynamics of it aren’t unusual. The former state prosecutor said he has learned from dealing with multiple clients through the years how easily contraband flows into prisons with the help of correctional officers.

“It’s so ubiquitous, it’s like sand on the beach,” he said.

$31 million in the bank

  Even in the state’s most secure facilities, serious money has changed hands as officers have done the bidding of prisoners.

  Eric Perkinson is in prison for the 1998 killing of a Dunwoody High School student. In 2018, investigators learned that associates of Perkinson's paid corrections officer Vera Jackson for information she provided him on shakedowns and on staff members at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison.

  At the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison, which includes the state’s execution chamber, officer Vera Jackson admitted in 2018 that she was paid to provide a man on death row with information on upcoming shakedowns and on the staff.

  Jackson told GDC investigators she received several thousand dollars to serve as a lookout for Eric Perkinson, who was sentenced to death for the 1998 killing of Dunwoody High School student Louis Nava.

  Jackson ultimately was charged with receiving MoneyGram payments of $320 and $100 from two of Perkinson’s acquaintances on the outside. She resolved the case by pleading guilty to violating her oath as an officer and received five years’ probation as a first offender.

  Morales, the retired warden, last worked with the GDC as the warden at the Special Management Unit, which houses many of the system’s toughest prisoners. There, he discovered the cellphone Arthur Lee Cofield Jr. used to steal $11 million from the Charles Schwab account of billionaire movie executive Sidney Kimmel. Morales said the phone showed the 31-year-old Cofield, incarcerated since he was a teen, had amassed $31 million in a bank account.

  Morales said Cofield claimed he could pay as much as $10,000 for phones. Morales said he suspected certain employees were smuggling phones for Cofield but never caught them.

  The Cofield case typifies what’s happening within the GDC today, according to Morales, who spent 22 years with the department after retiring from the U.S. Army. Morales said that when he first started, the jobs were competitive. Not anymore. Even with recent pay increases, he said, it’s hard to find qualified candidates for prison work.

  “GDC is not filled with loyal, caring, professional, hardworking (employees),” he said. “Now, there are some, but a lot of them are low-level; they just need the job. They’re there for the paycheck and not willing to do what it takes to run it correctly and safely.”

Young and vulnerable

  In case after case, the AJC found, those who crossed the line were women no older than 30. Many had evictions, bankruptcies and other signs of financial difficulties in their past. Few had anything close to law enforcement experience.

  How did they get hired? The requirements for prison officer training in Georgia are minimal: a high school diploma and a criminal history that doesn’t include felonies. Unlike the federal prison system, the GDC doesn’t research the credit or financial histories of its applicants, the AJC learned.

  Some female officers questioned in the cases examined by the AJC weren’t motivated by money. They portrayed themselves as friends or even soulmates of the prisoners for whom they’d provided contraband.

  At Baldwin State Prison, 22-year-old Natalian Andrews was hired as a correctional officer in 2018, though her previous work experience was as a sales associate at Walmart. Nine months later, she was fired for smuggling in a small amount of marijuana in her bra for a prisoner on his birthday.

  Andrews told a GDC investigator she was the mother of a 1-year-old trying to make it on her own and that Montavious Wingfield, serving a 15-year sentence for armed robbery, had helped her at a low point in her life. She said she regretted “falling for him,” according to the investigator’s memo.

  Andrews was charged with crossing the prison’s guard line with drugs and violating her oath as an officer, but the charges were dropped after she provided evidence that she’d received mental health treatment, court records show.

  Other cases revealed more complicated scenarios, indicating the women had long known the men they were dealing with — possibly before the women were hired — and that money was indeed involved.

Jasmine Nicole Hall had been an officer at Hancock State Prison for just seven months when, in January 2019, she was caught at the entrance with three Aquafina water bottles with the seals broken and the liquid discolored. The bottles were found to contain compartments filled with meth, pot, ecstasy and hydrocodone.

Hall, whose previous job was as a package handler at a FedEx facility in Hapeville, told a departmental investigator that she’d gotten the bottles from a woman she didn’t know in a Walmart parking lot and had agreed to deliver them to the prison for $3,000. She said it was her first attempt to smuggle contraband.

  Jasmine Nicole Hall was an officer at Hancock State Prison in 2019 when she was caught with three water bottles containing meth, pot, Ecstasy and hydrocodone. A later investigation found that Hall had a relationship with a man incarcerated at Macon State Prison and that the pair had been working together to distribute marijuana and phones.Jasmine Nicole Hall was an officer at Hancock State Prison in 2019 when she was caught with three water bottles containing meth, pot, Ecstasy and hydrocodone. A later investigation found that Hall had a relationship with a man incarcerated at Macon State Prison and that the pair had been working together to distribute marijuana and phones.

  But when investigators analyzed a phone found in Hall’s vehicle, they discovered evidence she had a relationship with a man incarcerated at Macon State Prison and that the pair had been working together to distribute marijuana and phones throughout the prison system. Photos suggested the pot was being stashed in Capri Sun pouches. The data showed 35 transactions totaling more than $5,000 with friends or family members of inmates in eight different prisons, almost all identified as gang members.

  The GDC report on the phone analysis identified the prisoner at Macon State Prison as Brandon Cantrell, a member of the Gangster Disciples known as “Jihad,” who at the time was serving a 20-year sentence for armed robbery and robbery by intimidation.

  The report also noted that Hall had a “Jihad” tattoo on her left ring finger.

Hall, 28, ultimately pleaded guilty to possession of meth with intent to distribute and was sentenced as a first offender to 20 years’ probation and 180 days in a probation center. The AJC could find no record of a wider criminal prosecution involving Cantrell or others based on the cellphone evidence.

No one is immune

  In the past year, no story has hit the GDC harder than the scandal at Smith State Prison, where investigations of murders outside the prison and a sprawling contraband scheme inside led to the arrest and dismissal of the warden, Brian Adams. He is charged with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, bribery, making or writing false statements and violating his oath as a public officer.

  Brian Adams, the former warden of Smith State Prison, is charged with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act -- often called the RICO Act --  and with bribery, making or writing false statements and violating his oath as a public officer. Brian Adams, the former warden of Smith State Prison, is charged with violating Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act -- often called the RICO Act -- and with bribery, making or writing false statements and violating his oath as a public officer.

  Warrants for Adams’ arrest say he received U.S. currency through a pattern of racketeering activity associated with a massive contraband scheme known as the Saint Laurent Squad, headed by a Smith State Prison inmate, Nathan Weekes.

Over the past year, Weekes and his associates have been charged with three murders related to the contraband operation, which used Cash App, Western Union and cryptocurrency to bribe officers and purchase all manner of contraband, including marijuana and meth, jewelry, weapons and luxury clothing.

  While a warden’s arrest is rare, others in leadership positions have been caught up in contraband schemes, showing that even the department’s better-paid employees sometimes can’t resist temptation. The AJC found at least a dozen other officers holding ranks of sergeant or above who have been arrested or fired since 2018 for their roles in contraband cases, with at least one now serving time in a GDC facility.

“When you have what sounds like rampant and pervasive misconduct by staff, and particularly when it reaches up to a fairly high level in the administration, you have a culture where the people running the prison don’t understand themselves to be bound by rules and aren’t taking seriously their basic obligation to keep people safe,” said Aaron Littman, an assistant professor at the UCLA School of Law and the faculty director of UCLA’s Prisoners’ Rights Clinic. “That is profoundly toxic for everyone involved.”

  One of the higher-ranking officers caught up in the corruption was Lakeshia Thomas. She was a lieutenant at Hays State Prison when the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in 2019 uncovered evidence that she was arranging to bring in marijuana for Jarico Deshun Brown. A member of the Gangster Disciples known as “Goon,” Brown is serving a sentence of life plus 15 years for the 2014 execution-style murders of two men in Coweta County, one of whom was a former jailer.

  In a phone conversation monitored by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, Lakeshia Thomas, a lieutenant at Hays State Prison, indicated that she knew she was bringing in pot and knew the risk.

  In a phone conversation with Brown monitored by the GBI, Thomas indicated that she knew what was in a package she was bringing in for him and indicated she knew it was risky.

  ‘...You trying to have me doing fed time, like for real,” she told him, according to a court filing.

  Brown then asked whether she could handle it, “like we normally do.” Thomas responded: “Uh, yeah, but I’m gonna have to wrap it though, so I’m sure ain’t nothing smelling.”

  Thomas, 44, has been incarcerated at Pulaski State Prison since pleading guilty in April 2022 to possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and violation of her oath as an officer. Her sentence runs 15 years, with two to be served in confinement.

(POST case file)

  A similar case played out at Baldwin State Prison in 2021, when it was discovered that Lt. Tracey Wise had been smuggling papers laced with K-2, a synthetic form of marijuana, for a notorious gang member.

  Wise, 45, had been a prison guard since 1999 and had just been promoted to lieutenant when his contact information was found on a phone confiscated from prisoner Ryan Brandt. The phone showed that Brandt and Wise, identified as “Lakers,” had been in contact with each other 155 times.

  Brandt has been in prison since he was sentenced by a Gwinnett County judge in 2007 to a then-record seven life sentences for a violent home invasion in Snellville, as well as other crimes. Inside the prison system, he has been identified by the GDC as a high-ranking member of the Sex Money Murder branch of the Bloods.

  Questioned by a GDC investigator, Wise acknowledged that he brought in the drug-laced papers for Brandt three times, folding the papers in his pocket “like paperwork,” and receiving $2,500 each time. He subsequently pleaded guilty to violating his oath as an officer and was sentenced in November to five years’ probation as a first-time offender.

  In his interview with the GDC investigator, Wise said he agreed to smuggle the drugs because he needed the money. Even with a part-time security job at a Macon hospital on top of his $52,000 state salary, he was struggling to keep up, he said.

“My home note (was) behind, my car note (was) behind,” he said. “And I had so much going on that I didn’t know what to do and how I was going to make it.”

It endangers everyone

  Widespread corruption and contraband in a prison system mean rehabilitation and recovery remain elusive.

  People whose crimes were fed by addiction may stay on drugs. People who leave prison, as most do, can come out more schooled in criminal behaviors.

  “Placing somebody in a facility where there’s rampant, serious crime being committed by the people running the place is not exactly a promising way to rehabilitate someone,” said Littman, the UCLA professor.

  What’s worse, violent people can continue to be violent, committing assaults and murders inside prison and orchestrating violent crimes that play out in communities.

Oliver, the GDC commissioner, acknowledged that contraband is the “driving force” for the violence inside the state’s prisons, as well as the violence that spills over into the outside world.

  Georgia prosecutors in districts with multiple prisons have joined that chorus, saying they are overrun with cases related to prison corruption and violence.

“GDC is not filled with loyal, caring, professional, hardworking (employees). Now, there are some, but a lot of them are low-level; they just need the job. They're there for the paycheck and not willing to do what it takes to run it correctly and safely."

- Jose Morales, a retired prison warden

  Barksdale, the district attorney for the Ocmulgee Judicial Circuit, said his office has as many murder cases stemming from attacks in the prison system as it does murder cases in his communities. Understaffing is a particular problem, he said. Many sentenced to prison join gangs and get weapons because they realize the few people working can’t ensure their safety, even if they want to.

“We’ve got a serious, serious problem,” he said.

  Armed with contraband phones, prisoners can also continue to create violence on the outside, and those cases are perhaps the most disturbing examples of the GDC’s failure to fulfill its mission to protect the public.

(Lewis Levine)

  One community continues to deal with the fallout from a prison-related murder. In Glennville, the home of Smith State Prison, Bobby Kicklighter was a beloved 88-year-old history buff, widower, Korean War veteran and retired civil servant. In 2021, he was shot to death in his bed in the middle of the night.

  The community was stunned. Later, when investigators announced they had solved the crime, citizens in the South Georgia town were even more unnerved.

The GBI determined that Kicklighter’s murder was a case of mistaken identity. The intended target: a correctional officer at Smith State Prison who investigators believe was cracking down on contraband. And, the investigation determined, the killing was a “hit” orchestrated from inside the prison by Weekes, who headed the contraband operation that Adams, the warden, had aided.

  The murder investigation unearthed a web of wrongdoing and resulted in the bribery charges against Adams.

  Weekes is now facing the death penalty and is charged in two other murders tied to his contraband operation. Two former correctional officers have also been implicated in the murders. One ended up murdered herself, a killing that prosecutors say Weekes ordered.

  According to indictments, Weekes bragged about his ability to continue to carry out crimes in spite of being in the GDC’s custody. In videos filmed inside the prison and posted on social media, the indictments state, Weekes proudly declared the motto of his squad.

  “Shit don’t stop cuz the (expletive) door locked.”

Creeper Cop gets dishorable Discharge

Former LAPD officer accused of molesting boys at his Covina home dies in custody

 

LOS ANGELES — A former Los Angeles Police Department officer who was charged with committing lewd acts on four young boys at his Covina home has died while in custody, officials said Monday.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department officials said only that Paul Razo, 46, died of medical complications, but no further information was released.

Razo was arrested May 10, five days after he was charged by prosecutors with eight counts of lewd acts on a child. He was scheduled to appear in court for arraignment on multiple days last week, and again on Monday, but the hearing was repeatedly delayed for unspecified reasons.

He was being held in lieu of $2.5 million bail at the sheriff’s Inmate Reception Center in downtown Los Angeles, according to inmate records.

According to the District Attorney’s Office, Razo allegedly committed the lewd acts at his home, which sheriff’s officials said was in the 4800 block of Brightview Drive in the Covina area. Prosecutors said he knew the victims through personal relationships.

The children ranged in age from roughly 9 to 13 years old when the alleged abuse began, prosecutors said. The alleged crimes occurred between 2006 and 2017, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

SEE: Ex-LAPD officer arrested, charged with committing lewd acts on children

Following his arrest, the LAPD released a statement saying it department “is aware of the criminal case involving former Police Officer Paul Razo. The Los Angeles Police Department’s Internal Affairs Division initiated an administrative investigation, which is being conducted simultaneously with the pending criminal case. The administrative investigation will include reviewing his past work history for similar behavior.

“Chief Michel Moore is deeply disturbed by these allegations as they are in direct opposition to the Department’s Core Values and expectations of a Los Angeles Police Officer. Officer Razo has been employed by the Los Angeles Police Department for approximately 24 years and was last assigned to Hollywood Area as a training coordinator. He separated from the Department in March 2023,” the LAPD statement said.

In 2018, Razo received an LAPD Medal of Valor for pulling a man out of a burning car that he saw crash in July 2016 in Glendora while off-duty.

Trial starts for NYPD officer accused of sexting children, possession of child porn


 

NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — Prosecutors accused a 43-year-old NYPD officer of possessing child pornography and having video sex chats with two underage girls on the first day of his federal trial in Brooklyn Tuesday.

Police arrested Timothy Martinez in February 2020, five months after a raid on his Staten Island apartment yielded over 400 child porn files on his laptop and explicit Skype chat logs from video calls with two underage girls.

One of the girls was only 13 years old when Martinez contacted her online, according to prosecutors. Both of the girls are expected to testify during the trial.

Federal law enforcement learned of Martinez’s alleged misdeeds after he paid a Twitter user he believed to be an underage girl for explicit images of herself.

Martinez, who was hired by the NYPD in 2006, faces charges for possession of child pornography, receiving and attempting to receive child pornography and sexual exploitation of a child.

When he was first charged, the department suspended him without pay. Due to a state law that puts a 30-day limit on civil service suspensions without pay, he is now suspended with pay.

Ex-correctional officer charged with sexually abusing 3 inmates in California federal prison cells


 

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former correctional officer at a federal women’s prison in California where inmates say they were subjected to rampant sexual abuse has been arrested and accused of abusing three inmates in his care, the Justice Department said Friday.

Darrell Wayne Smith, who worked at the Federal Correctional Institution in Dublin, was arrested on Thursday in Florida on a 12-count indictment. He is accused of sexually abusing the three women in their prison cells and in the prison’s laundry room between 2019 and 2021, prosecutors said.

Smith is at least the sixth employee at the Dublin prison charged with abusing inmates. An Associated Press investigation last year revealed a culture of abuse and cover-up that had persisted for years at the prison, about 20 miles (30 kilometers) east of Oakland. That reporting led to increased scrutiny from Congress and pledges from the federal Bureau of Prisons that it would fix problems and change the culture at the prison.

The prison’s former warden, Ray Garcia, was convicted in December of molesting inmates and forcing them to pose naked in their cells. He was sentenced to serve six years in prison.

The charges against Smith include sexual abuse of an inmate, abusive sexual contact and aggravated sexual abuse. A lawyer listed for him in court records did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday.

Since the AP’s investigation, the Justice Department has moved more aggressively in recent months to prosecute federal prison employees who are accused of sexually abusing inmates. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and Bureau of Prisons Director Colette Peters visited the Dublin prison in March and met with advocates working to improve conditions there.

The Bureau of Prisons also has launched new training for prison wardens and created specialized teams aimed at curtailing sexual abuse at the nation’s federal prisons.

James Theodore Highhouse, a former prison chaplain at Dublin who pleaded guilty to abusing an inmate in his chapel office and lying to authorities, was sentenced in August to seven years in prison. He is appealing the punishment, arguing it exceeded federal guidelines.

Enrique Chavez, a food service foreman, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 months in prison. Ross Klinger, a recycling technician, has pleaded guilty but has not been sentenced. John Russell Bellhouse, a prison safety administrator, is scheduled to stand trial later this month.

Laundry clerk at Charlotte County Jail arrested after having inappropriate relationship with inmate


 

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. — A Laundry clerk has been arrested after having an inappropriate relationship with an inmate at the Charlotte County Jail.

According to the Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO), detention staff noticed unusual behavior from a jail laundry clerk identified as Amy L. Dice. On May 10, Dice tried to contact an inmate while dropping off laundry in a pod. The inmate was set to be transferred to state prison the next day.

Jail staff searched the inmate’s laundry bag and found a love note and candy.

During an investigation by jail command and Internal Affairs, Dice admitted to detectives that she had a relationship with the inmate.

Dice has been employed with CCSO since August 2022.

“We hold all of our employees to the highest standards of professionalism and ethical behavior, and any violation of that standard will not be tolerated,” said CCSO Sheriff Bill Prummell.

Dice faces multiple charges for introduction of contraband into a detention facility and sexual misconduct between detention facility employees & inmates. She is being held at the Charlotte County Jail.

Federal Judge Rejects DOJ STupid Agreement

New Orleans police officer groomed, kidnapped and sexually abused 15-year-old rape victims!

 

Disgraced New Orleans cop and ‘mentor’ gets twice as much prison time for sexually assaulting 15-year-old rape victim after judge rejects DOJ-backed deal


 

In federal court earlier this month, a former New Orleans police officer pleaded guilty to depriving a teenage rape survivor of her “right to bodily integrity” when he kidnapped and sexually assaulted her in September 2020.

On Nov. 16, Rodney Vicknair, 55, asserted in a plea bargain that he was acting “under the color of law” when he molested a 15-year-old girl whose rape case he had been investigating. According to court reports, Vicknair first met the child when he responded to a sexual assault report she filed earlier in 2020, when she was 14 years old. The senior police officer drove the girl and her mother to get a forensic rape kit done at the local children’s hospital.

Prosecutors allege Vicknair, who was 53 at the time, proceeded to groom and sexually harass her, visiting her multiple times unannounced at her home while in uniform for the next four months. Under the guise of investigating her case, he spoke with the victim on the phone and exchanged messages with her over Snapchat, offering to be her friend and mentor. Prosecutors say Vicknair “requested and received sexually explicit photographs of [the victim],” kept the photos on his phone and touched her breast under her shirt and her butt over her clothes in separate incidents.

When Vicknair came to the girl’s house on Sept. 23, 2020, she told police he asked her to get in the passenger seat of his truck. The prosecution, via court documents, say Vicknair locked the doors so that she couldn’t leave, leaned over her and confined her against her will. He then “intentionally touched her genitals under her clothing” without her consent.

A few days later, when he was arrested and interviewed by police about the incident, Vicknair said he’d never touched the victim sexually, but admitted that he’d told the child she had “a nice body” and a “nice ass.”

Ultimately, when faced with a maximum sentence of life in prison, he changed his plea to guilty, and the parties agreed to a seven year sentence. The court will ultimately sentence him in March. Prior to his arrest, the Times-Picayune reports Vicknair had been a police officer for 13 years and an EMT for 19 years before that. He’d also mentored recruits coming out of the academy.

Vicknair is not the only NOPD officer being accused of sexual assault; Gerry Paul is currently being investigated after a crime scene technician alleged he raped her while on a date. And rape survivors in New Orleans are already waiting for hours for police to respond because of NOPD staffing shortages, as Jezebel previously reported. Needless to say, but I’ll say it anyway—law enforcement should be supporting sexual assault survivors when they respond to their claims, not re-assaulting them and compounding their trauma.

“The defendant’s job was to protect a child who was a victim of sexual assault, but instead he exploited her vulnerabilities and abused his position of power to carry out his own sexual assault of the victim,” said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke. “Law enforcement officials who sexually assault children are not above the law.”

The teen’s mother filed a civil lawsuit against Vicknair, which is set to go to trial in April.

 The Justice Department is launching an investigation into civil rights violations in Georgia prisons, focusing on prisoner-on-prisoner violence and the targeting of LGBT inmates by prisoners and staff, federal officials said Tuesday.

 

The announcement comes after advocacy groups said deplorable conditions of confinement and escalating violence — including homicides and suicides — have only worsened during the coronavirus pandemic. It is part of civil rights initiatives by the Justice Department under the Biden administration to reform the nation’s law enforcement agencies and prisons.

The Justice Department found “significant justification” to open the investigation, Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke said in a video news conference Tuesday, citing public reports of dozens of homicides, stabbings and beatings, scores of smuggled weapons, and open gang activity inside state-run prisons, along with extreme staff shortages.

The Justice Department will look into reports of conditions inside state facilities, where 26 people died last year in confirmed or suspected homicides. So far this year, there have been 18 homicides, said Clarke, who will be the lead examiner.

If federal investigators find evidence of systematic violations, they will issue a written report outlining the minimal remedial measures, which the Department of Corrections would be required to implement. Clarke added that the department would work with the state to find and establish solutions.

Georgia officials on Tuesday denied they had systematically violated the rights of inmates or failed to protect them.

“The Georgia Department of Corrections is committed to the safety of all of the offenders in its custody,” Lori Benoit, a department spokeswoman, said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the Southern Center for Human Rights (SCHR), a nonprofit law firm that specializes in prison litigation, welcomed the Justice Department investigation as a “significant step forward in the fight for accountability for the lives that have been lost and for the people who continue to suffer in Georgia’s prisons,” according to Hannah Riley, the SCHR’s communications director, in a statement to The Washington Post.

Last year the organization requested that the Trump administration intervene and investigate the “deplorable” conditions at the state’s prisons, which it argued had worsened “to a point of constitutional crisis” during the pandemic.

In a letter sent to the Justice Department last September, the SCHR outlined a number of incidents, including riots and escalating violence in several facilities, and pointed to homicide and suicide rates reaching unprecedented levels. The group asked the federal government to step in and launch an investigation “as soon as possible.”

“We are not aware of any other group or agency that is likely to intervene,” the letter said, adding that its repeated attempts to alert senior correctional administrators of the serious violations had received “no substantive response.”

By June of last year, 19 people had died by suicide in Georgia prisons — a suicide rate twice the national average in state prisons, according to the SCHR, which investigates and monitors conditions in state jails and prisons.

In August 2020, hundreds of prisoners came out of their cells at Ware State Prison in Waycross, Ga., and ran through the compound, setting a golf cart on fire and breaking several windows. The riot left three inmates and two prison guards injured, the Georgia Department of Corrections said. Two other large-scale riots took place in two different facilities over three months.

In its letter to the Justice Department, the SCHR argued that before the riots, men had been left locked in their cells for weeks or months at a time without sufficient food, water, showers or medical care.

The SCHR also pointed to videos reportedly taken by inmates that showed injured prisoners covered in blood, prison dorms with no security supervision, and groups of men armed with machetes roaming lockdown dorms, the letter said.

On Friday, the SCHR filed a class-action suit in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, challenging solitary confinement conditions at Georgia State Prison, the main maximum-security facility in the state, where it said people are held for months or years and rats and roaches crawl on people while they sleep and in their food.

People subjected to solitary confinement at Georgia State Prison prisoners frequently experience psychiatric crises and become suicidal, the SCHR said in a news release. A third of all suicides reported last year in state prisons over a period of 18 months happened in this prison, according to the SCHR.

Clarke acknowledged that understaffing at correctional facilities is a “particularly acute problem.”

“Without adequate staff supervision and mental health care, there is an increased likelihood that people experiencing mental health issues may harm themselves or even commit suicide,” she said.

Riley, at the SCHR, said multiple facilities in the state operate with 70 percent officer vacancy rates, which she says can result in preventable deaths.

Clarke, who leads the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, underlined the department’s “commitment” to conducting civil rights investigations in prisons across the country.

Last year, the Justice Department sued the state of Alabama over the prevalence of violence among prisoners and the use of excessive force among staff.

Clarke pointed to the department’s inquiry into systematic abuse against female inmates at a New Jersey prison, where investigators found women were regularly sexually assaulted by guards and detailed widespread sexual abuse at the facility.

Last month, the Justice Department and New Jersey reached an agreement that required the state to implement new safeguards like training and greater supervision at the prison.
