Episode Details

Two prison workers at Elmore Correctional Facility were busted for smuggling fentanyl, meth, knives, and dozens of cell phones into the facility — leading to their immediate firing. A K-9 unit and narcotics agents uncovered the operation, with one employee, Niana Longmire, even admitting to prior involvement and helping authorities find more contraband. Longmire faces multiple felony charges including conspiracy to traffic controlled substances and promoting prison contraband, while Carmelo Hopkins is charged with conspiracy to commit a controlled substance crime. Authorities recovered 138 grams of fentanyl, 29 grams of meth, flakka, two knives, and 12 cell phones — exposing a dangerous breach in prison security and underscoring the ongoing struggle to keep contraband out. The investigation is still ongoing.
