Apparently some female officers were unable to resist the animal magnetism of their imprisoned wards within a Baltimore city jail.
A "federal grand jury indicted 25 people -- including 13 state correctional officers -- on accusations that they conspired to run operations of the Black Guerilla Family gang inside correctional facilities," and U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein said "correctional officers were in bed with BGF inmates, in violation of the first principle of prison management" as reported by WBAL.
Reputed BGF leader Tavon White apparently admitted over a wiretapped cellphone that "I make every final call in this jail," and while awaiting trial for attempted murder "allegedly had a sexual relationship with four correctional officers -- Jennifer Owens, Katera Stevenson, Chania Brooks and Tiffany Linder -- impregnating all of them at least once," and according to the indictment Owens and Stevenson even "got 'Tavon' tattoos."
The defendants variously are charged with racketeering and other crimes for their alleged roles in a scheme by which "BGF members and associates bribed correctional officers at the Baltimore City Detention Center to smuggle drugs, cellphones and other contraband."
Earlier this month an Orleans parish jail made headlines when videotapes were released which seemingly showed inmates chatting on cellphones, taking drugs and one even playing with a loaded gun as reported by The Times-Picayune.
