Hahahahaha this is hilarious why are they not using the cameras to see how these drugs happened to be in the prison and suspending some prison officers they are only babysitting why give these prisoners more time do you really think they care stop this madness take ya head out of the sand
With a simple slingshot anyone could catapult drugs contained in a packed -small and bright colored material (so it can be easily detected)like a balloon over the prison walls. I can think of 5 other easy wall to get items in “undetected” without risk.
However, there have been Prison Officers caught in the past so I agree with your question and comment.
IDIOTS!!! Why are we wasting money on a trial when he is already serving time ( a lot of it). what you going to do, fine him
On top of all that the Prison has in its pervue the ability to deal with this matter.
smfh
I agree, lets not waste time and money and just remember this when it comes to parole time. Personally I’m glad he f’d up and got caught so he can stay in a little longer.
@always watching:You are so right,”…the Prison have some way of dealing with this matter in its confines.” Why must the individual be carried back to Court at the Publics / Prisons expense?
You have to be a special kind of stupid to allegedly break the law while already imprisoned.
Ery lil ting gonna bee all rite
As I do understand law is law I accept this travesty….but when I see law broken by those who by every and any common sense should lead by example…take inheritence and call it unlawful monies….then it is difficult….indeed…
What a dumb a**. However I can’t blame him, the prison needs to UP ITS PERIMITER SECURITY 10,000% It is a damn joke. Do the cameras inadequate as they are work, who monitors them, what external patrols are carried out, why is it not lit up like a christmas tree, why aren’t dogs or killer lions not allowed to roam the grounds at night??? A damn joke and for what $80K estimated per prisoner per year????? Give the guards tasters and rubber bullet guns if needed, you are not in prison for being a good person,
