More than a dozen Maryland state prison guards helped a dangerous national gang operate a drug-trafficking and money-laundering scheme from behind bars that involved cash payments, sex and access to fancy cars, federal prosecutors said Tuesday.
Thirteen female corrections officers essentially handed over control of a Baltimore jail to gang leaders, prosecutors said. The officers were charged Tuesday in a federal racketeering indictment.The indictment described a jailhouse seemingly out of control. Four corrections officers became pregnant by one inmate. Two of them got tattoos of the inmate’s first name, Tavon — one on her neck, the other on a wrist.The guards allegedly helped leaders of the Black Guerilla Family run their criminal enterprise in jail by smuggling cellphones, prescription pills and other contraband in their underwear, shoes and hair. One gang leader allegedly used proceeds to buy luxury cars, including a Mercedes-Benz and a BMW, which he allowed some of the officers to drive.
not trying to be facetious but it looks like one set of criminals the imates have beat the othwer criminals the right wing interest to the punch and have already privatised the prision.
we have witness so much exposing of police corruption everywhere like some of our politians they have joined them since unable to beat them. forces og corruption again may have had a harder time growing had we been more iteractive with our law system and those we elect to control them.
The indictment, unsealed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Baltimore, puts the spotlight on the enduring power of gangs in jails and prisons. In particular, prosecutors were highly critical of Maryland’s facilities in Baltimore, with procedures and personnel that were “completely inadequate to prevent smuggling” and lacked “effective punishment.”The Black Guerilla Family was founded in California in the 1960s but now operates nationwide in prisons and on the streets of major U.S. cities, including Baltimore.
when we entrust our lives and well being toanother this proves we better be damn sure that they do just that and not what's more lucrative for them at our expense. from now on we should adopt a policy of hands on bosses they say gov't for and by the people, when we keep turning our heads and refusing to look at the truth we end up with it's counterpart. lawlessness recognize
