Prison Officer Pleads Guilty to Bribery | Newark News
Description
A former correctional officer at Northern State Prison in Newark has pleaded guilty to accepting bribes and smuggling contraband into the facility for over a year—earning cash via a phone app. Investigators caught him in June last year carrying bulky items under his uniform, including tobacco and an unknown liquid. Now facing a potential three-year sentence, he’s also forfeiting $4,500 and banned for life from public employment in New Jersey. His case underscores how corruption within prison systems endangers everyone’s safety—and that no one is above the law. Sentencing is set for October 5th.
