Smuggling opportunities abounded for inmates at city jail, gang leader testifies

Key to keeping the money flowing, however, was recruiting corrections officers to smuggle tobacco, marijuana, prescription pills and cell phones into the jail. The officers were also needed to transport the items from one section of the jail to the other, and to help tip inmates to looming “shakedowns.”
