There is a huge difference between someone struggling to make ends meet and living beyond one’s income!!!! As a CO, you are paid enough to be able to pay rent, buy groceries and pay your utilities and have enough to make a car payment. The problem with people like this woman is they want their cake and everyone else’s, she didn’t want to live within her means, so she decided to take chances and now must pay the price.

An INMATE has nothing but time and nothing to lose.
Ok…. I guess she has nothing left to lose at this point.

@Casey Hawsey – she HAD to do shady stuff? She was not forced to smuggle drugs into the jail. She is also not a child, she knew the repercussions of her actions. If she was struggling to make ends meet like you assumed (even though you say you don’t know her) then she could have gotten a second job. It was absolutely not necessary to do something illegal to “make ends meet”.

She resigned from the Escambia Co. AL jail and went to work at the Covington Co. AL. So much for the vetting process!

@CaseyHawsey, you should go work at one of these fine establishments.

I judge everyone who brings in drugs and contraband into prisons. I’ll judge even more the trash that works in prisons bringing in drugs and contraband. It’s dangerous enough to work in these institutions without thugs and thieves being able to run their games that put them into prison in the first place.

Dirty officers put good officers at risk daily. So happy this one got caught. When we know they are but can’t catch them is so frustrating! I hope she saved some of that money. She gonna need it.

Another one bites the dust, it’s getting ridiculous at how often employees are smuggling drugs into jails and prisons, not to mention the outsiders trying to get drugs over prison fences. They need to do a MANDATORY NO BOND on these charges and people would think twice about smuggling drugs in when they know they gotta stay in jail until after the trial. That’s only fair, this should not be tolerated, thanks to Heath Jackson for cleaning that jail up, because it had gotten corrupt for a while there.

It amazes me at how many women are taken by the inmates. All the inmates have is time, time to watch a person and look for a weakness, and yes they are watching the females, telling them how pretty they are and complimenting them in order to gain their favor. While working at a facility I personally observed this. Even though these women had been warned and taught what to look for and how divert it, some fell for their game but not all of them. One night while working on a backup generator in a prison facility, I was being escorted by a young female CO. One of the inmates told her that her hair looked nice and that she smelled good. She immediately called for help and had him placed in lockup but not before giving him a good tongue lashing and letting him know his comments were a waste of time on her. She told him she was only interested in real men, men who make a living by doing honest work not a two thief.
I do not know this woman or her personal situation, but I do know a woman with a bad home life or marriage is an easy target in a facility like a prison or even a county jail.
