Correctional Officer and Inmate Sentenced to Prison for Bribery and Smuggling Scheme

A correctional officer and federal inmate have been sentenced for a bribery conspiracy in the Eastern District of Texas, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei today.

“EDTX is committed to the principle that no person, regardless of their title, status, or position, is above the law,” said Acting U.S. Attorney Nicholas J. Ganjei. “This corrupt law enforcement officer exploited his position of public trust and endangered the inmates and staff at FCI Texarkana.  This office will work tirelessly to protect the trust and confidence that East Texans have placed in their law enforcement community.”
