Prison corruption crackdown yields 46 arrests in Georgia
Prison corruption crackdown yields 46 arrests in Georgia
ATLANTA —
Multiple prisons in Georgia were raided early Thursday, resulting in dozens of arrests, Channel 2's Mark Winne learned exclusively.
Winne reported that 46 current or former corrections officers were indicted on federal charges.
The raid targeted contraband, including drugs and cellphones.
The Georgia Department of Corrections Office of Professional Standards director said that after the arrest of five officers by the FBI, assisted by his agents, the FBI ran an undercover operation.
"It is truly troubling that so many corrections officers from across Georgia could be so willing to sell their oaths to sell their badges for personal profit," U.S. Attorney John Horn said.
