- U.S. prosecutors on Tuesday charged six jail guards with taking bribes to smuggle drugs and cellphones into New York City’s infamous Rikers Island, a prison complex officials have vowed to close due to chronic violence and decrepit facilities.
They uncovered a scheme to bribe the guards in exchange for smuggling marijuana, the narcotic Suboxone, the synthetic drug K2 and cellphones into two jails, prosecutors with the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York said in a statement. The inmates arranged for civilian accomplices to deliver marijuana and other contraband to the guards, who received thousands of dollars to smuggle the drugs past security, prosecutors said.
