An ex-Corrections officer named Fredrick Johnson has been arrested for smuggling porn to sell to inmates of the Mobile County Jail in Alabama. According to the New York Post;
Johnson’s transgressions were discovered upon a random bag search that was conducted by officials at the facility. In addition to allegedly smuggling flash drives with pornography into the correctional facility, a further investigation revealed that Johnson intended to bring cameras, phone chargers, and a camera watch into the prison.
Investigators say that the man who had been working for the prison for nearly three years had been selling electronics to the prisoners, in somewhat of a black-market scheme. As a result, he has been charged with 21 counts of promoting prison contraband.
“This behavior will not be tolerated,” said Sheriff Sam Cochran in a news release about the revelation. “We are constantly investigating how contraband is brought into our jail and if we find it is one of our employees then we will arrest him/her just like we would anyone else.”
I don’t think this is something we should be arresting people for.
I understand firing the guy, but it wasn’t likely he was smuggling in crack or guns. He was smuggling in Big Black Booty 47 for guys that are serving years in prison.
It seems to me like he was doing the lord’s work and it wasn’t like he was forcing any of the inmates to pay. If they wanted to give up their hard-earned prison money to watch “BLACKED Back to School” who are we to judge?
There are far worse things that people should be in jail for than this. Hitting him with 21 counts is OD. I am not sure what type of message they are trying to send but it isn’t a good one and frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves.
