Three sergeants at Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola have been arrested: two accused of smuggling contraband and a third accused of sexual malfeasance, said Department of Public Safety and Corrections Communications Director Ken Pastorick.

A 23-year-old employee was arrested Monday after investigators discovered she repeatedly had sex with an inmate, Pastorick said. Diamond Nicholson, who worked at the prison since Dec. 12, 2016, and an inmate both admitted to having sex multiple times.
