Investigation finds smuggling at jails
Marijuana, narcotics, tobacco and alcohol are some of the contraband smuggled by correction officers at Rikers Island, in exchange for thousands of dollars from inmates’ relatives, an undercover city investigation found.
The city Department of Investigation released a report last week, about their months-long probe into the criminal activity and civil disorder at the country’s second largest correctional facility. They found that even when contraband set off metal detectors at the staff entrances, security personnel allowed correction officers to walk in without searching them.
