In a recent case working its way through the court system, it seems that truth has been given to suspicion for where the corruption within prison starts.
After all, it has boggled my mind, just how objects the size of a cell phone can *EVER* enter a secure facility, if the basic checks are simply done on each person, each time, as routine and almost boring procedure? The answer is....as logic might dictate...they generally CANNOT BE. The ass only fits so much, to be outright blunt about the only method a male has to smuggle a large item....and the female options are not only as accessibly by guards to check, but easier in some ways.
So..where are big, clunky and dangerous (to smuggle internally) cell phones w/ chargers coming from?!
After all, it takes a correctional officer to know how to beat the correctional system. It isn't all that hard, either, when most places have the CO's unionized with a Union that will strike to shut prisons down before they even entertain the concept of their own "members" being searched like the cons they are (guarding).

Hinley is one of the inmates that had staff on his pathetic little 'payroll', for however that works inside a prison.

As far as I'm concerned..there are two kinds of guards for inmate populations. Sheriff's Deputies and Private security/officers (some states crown them law enforcement..and some do not, for the guard positions). Sheriff Deputies run the county jails in our nation, and are generally the better of the two. Why? Sheriff's offices train their new officers by throwing them into the worst place first, to learn how to deal with the worst and most chaotic situations of being outnumbered, overpowered and hopelessly at the mercy of handling situations properly or becoming a part of the institution they work at. Most Sheriff's don't let Deputies onto the street to patrol without extensive time in at the Jail.
The other kind... the private one... Yeah.. Umm.. There isn't much to be said about this class. You have two flavors, from men I've known in my life, that work in those places. You have the do gooders, who either hung onto that little shred of 'do good', to remain decent people inside ..and I think few manage it. Then you have the Alpha types who are too stupid, corrupt, criminal in their OWN right or lack the discipline it takes to be a proper police officer. The rejected power trippers who can pass the background, often end up in correctional work.
.....So..What is the answer? Hell..I think its quite simple myself.
If you WORK in a prison, you are not JUST "subject" to facility control measures like the inmates....you should EXPECT..every single day...to go through what the inmates do, for entering the facility as well as exiting at the end of the day. Drug testing should be assumed as automatic, and weekly, at LEAST. Hair testing to hire, and blood to maintain the position after that.
Do those things? I think we'd have a DRAMATICALLY different Prison system within 2 years in this nation. The inmates wouldn't be running the asylums anymore ..and I don't mean the ones actually assigned cells to live there.

According to federal prosecutors, the smuggling operations occurred at two state prisons, one outside of Atlanta and the other in Valdosta, Ga., near the Florida state line.
Typically, inmates relied on prison employees to smuggle cellular telephones and other contraband into the prisons in return for bribes, the indictment says.

According to telephone calls and text messages, prosecutors says, Hinley even had gallons of the "'strongest' liquor smuggled into the prison in large plastic water bottles."
