Episode Details

In a shocking 48-hour span, Elayn Hunt Correctional Center busted three people for smuggling contraband — two visitors caught with marijuana and a prison cadet, Jaunya Spiller, nabbed mid-shift with drug-laced paper, a phone, and a loaded gun in his car. Sheriff Brett Stassi’s crackdown targets everyone entering prison grounds, with strict searches for weapons, phones, and drugs — and warns that bringing drugs in that cause death could lead to second-degree murder charges. This isn’t an outlier: 2026 has seen four staff and multiple civilians arrested as the Department of Corrections ramps up security, including battling hidden drug-laced Bibles. Meanwhile, Narcan use in Louisiana prisons has surged since July 2023, raising alarms about how drugs are getting inside. Spiller’s arrest is being touted as a key win in the ongoing fight to keep prisons safe.
