Large scale search of Jackson County Jail
 

I dropped my wife off at her job this morning and there were 6 buses outside the Jackson County Jail as we drove by. There were FBI agents and Marshals milling around outside. I looked it up on the web and KSHB said they're searching the entire facility in connection with an investigation that's been going on for a few weeks. Somebody's gonna get got.

Sounds like there was a massive smuggling ring going on and some employees were complicit.

Drugs and whatnot?

That's a lot of freaking agents. :eek:

4 arrests. Cigarettes, cell phones, contraband.

That sounds like a great prank by the jail.

"Hey, John, the FBI is going to come and do a search tomorrow."

"Let's mess with them and hide all of the prisoners."

It's amazing to me the things Corrections Officers sometimes get caught up in. Banging inmates, contraband and any number of things that can get them in serious shit. I can't believe they ever trusted these people enough to do some illegal shit with them.

Exactly, and you never know what some of these inmates might have on these correction officers on the outside.

Good time to get a back door deal on some Raisin Jack...

too bad you can't send in questions to Fox 4 to ask during interviews

I'd love to see if I could fool the on-site reporter into asking "Jelly, or syrup"

Jackson County jail guards took bribes to smuggle cell phones, feds allege

Guards accepted hundreds of dollars bribes in exchange for smuggling contraband cell phones, cigarettes and drugs into the Jackson County Detention Center, according to federal charges unsealed Monday in the wake of a early morning raid at the jail.

Two guards, a jail inmate and another person were charged in the scheme. The cost of smuggling cell phones into the downtown Kansas City jail ranged from $100 to $500, according to court documents. Cigarettes: $25 a pack.

Authorities allege that one of the guards offered to grant an inmate the exclusive right to smuggle narcotics, cigarettes and phones onto his floor, if he paid the guard $2,500 a month.

Another guard was carrying the child of an inmate who arranged for contraband to be smuggled in.

Charges were filed last week under seal following the arrests of all four defendants.

Guards Andre Lamonte Dickerson, 26, and Jalee Caprice Fuller, 29, of Independence were charged, as was inmate Carlos Laron Hughley, 32. All are from Kansas City.

Janikkia Lashay Carter, 36, is accused of being a go-between on the outside who arranged for the transfer of contraband into the facility.

The government is asking that Dickerson and Hughley be held without bond.

The arrests are the latest outgrowth of a broader federal investigation begun in 2015. Five former guards were accused of brutalizing prisoners in those cases. Four are awaiting trial on those charges and charges against the fifth former guard were dismissed after two trials ended in hung juries.

It happens CONSTANTLY.

In a slow cycle there is usually one nurse and one CO walked out every three months.

This is not for missing work, ****ing up, or talking $3it to your boss either...

stay woke

I worked as a CO while I was going to school after the Army. The pay is not near enough for all the shit those guys put up with. One of the most entertaining but thankless jobs in the world.

You all see the worst of the worst. Especially prisoners trying to get any kind of personal information out of you to use it to their favor.

They probably would have got away with the phones if inmates hadn't started complaining about the shitty Comcast internet service. Dead give away.

Jannikkkia done messed up.
