Prison Drug Bust
Prison Drug Bust
gangstersinc.dk gangstersinc.spreadshirt.dk Richard Pillajo, a wellness education officer at a Florida state prison, strayed beyond his job description, according to investigators who arrested him last year. He purportedly planned to smuggle cocaine, marijuana and hydrocodone pills to inmates for a payoff of 00. Florida Corrections Secretary Walter A. McNeil praised the investigators from his department who had cracked the case. Yet official annual reports suggest that those investigators, like their counterparts in many states, are playing a frustrating version of Whac-a-Mole as they try to keep illegal drugs out of America’s prisons. In many large state prison systems, a mix of inmate ingenuity, complicit visitors and corrupt staff has kept the level of inmate drug abuse constant over the past decade despite concerted efforts to reduce it. A recent boom in cell-phone smuggling has complicated matters, with inmates sometimes using phones to arrange drug deliveries. “The prison wall is not a boundary anymore,” said Terry Thornton, a spokeswoman for California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, which seized about 5000 contraband cell phones in 2009 — more than triple the 2007 total.
