Episode Details

A correctional officer at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center was arrested for showing up to work with a loaded firearm in his car, a cellphone, and laced paper—charges that could bring more fallout. This isn’t the first time this year: four staff members have already been arrested for smuggling contraband. The DOC’s doing over 12,000 vehicle checks since January to keep facilities secure. The warden confirmed the arrest, and the officer is now fired. Officials say the investigation is ongoing and more charges may follow—highlighting the ongoing battle to keep prisons safe from the inside out.
