None of this is possible without having a few staff members in on it. That is all.

How about the guards that let it happen?

This isn’t any different then the prisoners getting loans during Covid and collecting unemployment.

With as much technology as we have, how did that amount of money movement not get flagged before it got to be $30k?

They are not being honest about tracking commissary receipts and cash flow per prisoner.

When I was in tarrant county jail they had everything pills, weed, meth, coke, etc I was shocked even the guards were like no smoking on my shift and some would say “come on guys don’t be so obvious” corrupt to the max .

Ok hate to say it but perhaps look at the guards. Shocking this could happen in a jail?

[MarieScott-mxlj]

Surprised they didn't give them bonds.

[fightingfreedomisthepoor]

There's no way the jail didn't know what was going on they're supposed to keep you safe so why isn't in jail being held accountable for the deaths??

[roboticusroboticus]

Been in jail plenty of times and each time people are high G I wonder who’s bringing the drugs into the jail. we got search at least two times a day.

[miketuggle]

Here is a tip off, Investigate the guards, police, local/state/federal politicians. I wonder if the DA is corrupt too?

[pamelaobiols]

The commasary alone is a crime & then the phone system is a scam aswell ! They just mad cuz they weren't included & didn't get a cut !
