Excellent Security Work

Kudos are due for some excellent security work by a Nash Correctional Institution gatehouse lobby officer. A staff member was caught trying to bring this frozen lasagna dinner into the facility. That might have been okay, except the box was concealing about 40 ounces of tobacco and rolling papers intended for delivery to an inmate. The employee has been arrested and charged on a criminal warrant. This might serve as a good reminder to all prison staff to be aware of Division of Prisons entrance/exit policies on bringing contraband into the facilities and to be vigilant about possible creative methods that might be used to smuggle items into the prisons. It is a Class 1 misdemeanor to provide tobacco or cell phones to inmates.
