The FBI arrested 46 current and former correction officers in a sting at nine facilities around Georgia, as a result of a two-year undercover operation went down early Thursday with raids by FBI at the prisons.
The indictments revealed "staggering corruption within Georgia Department of Corrections institutions," said John Horn, the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.
Among those arrested were five members of an elite squad aimed at busting up drug dealing in prison, called the Cobra unit. Also rounded up in the bust were two civilians and one inmate.
The probe found that prison guards and staff were smuggling contraband such as liquor, tobacco and cell phones into the cell blocks for money. Inmates used the illegal cell phones to commit wire fraud, money laundering and identify theft.
Officers are also charged with using their badges to facilitate drug deals on either side of the prison wall. The trafficking is said to include multiple kilos of cocaine and meth in exchange for thousands of dollars in bribe money.

This shite goes on everywhere. It's what you get when you pay guards $21k a year.

These are the guys that really need to be burned. They're a major reason why the CJ system is so broken.

They are merely a symptom of a much bigger problem.

Huh? Explain how smuggling drugs and cell phones into a jail is a MAJOR problem with the criminal justice system?
I'm not trying to gloss over it, but I think your ire is misdirected.

my brother worked at a federal prison in WV and he said they had a little place up the hill where dominoes and other places would deliver pizza and the prisoners would run up there to pick up orders.

If the main purpose of prison is rehabilitation than that would be a major problem.

And this is why we have so much resistance for marijuana to be legalized. The system is to big and too far gone to give up the fruits of this type of labor. It's amazing how many people in this world lack a moral compass and cant help themselves when it comes to corruption. Pieces of fricking shite.

If the money is right getting caught is a cost of doing business. Its not right, just how it is.
