Former Trenton prison tech gets 5 years in tobacco-smuggling case

A judge said the 49-year-old former trade technician’s crime was the “dumbest thing anyone could do.” Harris lost his job. He lost his state pension, which he had invested in for 14 years. And now Harris, facing up to 15 years in prison, was about to lose five years of his life.

The only place Harris’ 10- and 12-year-old children can visit him is behind bars, a place he worked but on the right side the law prior to Monday.
