I would like to ask a question? Do these employee's go through a random drug testing? Who checks them when they enter the prison? Seems to me like alot of this drug smuggling goes on by the employee's in different prisons. It's not always the visitors. We better start checking our employees in these prisons more precisely. Scan them.

they guards are taught by the older guards when they first start working as an officer that if you shuffle your feet going through the detector it won't go off as it causes static and they don't care if you bring shit in cause they are a currupt bunch of guards after a pay check get it no one is safe even the good ones who follow the rules it happens in limon and crowley colorado alot

drug smuggling in prisons happens in every state just like it does in the free world. it isn't going to stop yet some programs work better than others and with the progression of technology there will be less and less drug abuse for sure!

They say this creeps mother works at the same jail and that shes upset over them catching him.
She should have done a better job rasing him
but that he became a crook who we paid with our taxes. His mother was some kind a nurse or something there.

The guards' UNION fights to keep guards from being drug tested. Most of them would not pass- or there would not be a problem. Dealing with a guard wigged out on meth, coke or whatever is dangerous for everybody. The UNION also fought to keep guards who sexually abused the DOC women until they came up with their DNA. Now those same men are behind bars where they belong.
