5 Convicted, 3 Acquitted In City Jail Corruption Case

Five people were convicted in a massive jailhouse corruption scheme where gang leaders ruled the institution, directed crimes inside and outside the walls, dealt drugs and impregnated guards, federal prosecutors said Thursday.

Vickie LeDuc, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney's office in Baltimore, said a federal jury convicted two Baltimore City Detention Center guards, Ashley Newton and Travis Paylor; two inmates, Joseph Young and Russell Carrington, and a jail kitchen worker, Michelle McNair, for their role in a racketeering conspiracy.

Three other corrections officers were acquitted.

The defendants were part of a sweeping 44-person indictment handed down in 2013. Thirty-five people pleaded guilty, including Tavon "Bulldog" White, whom prosecutors described as a Black Guerilla Family gang commander and the architect of the conspiracy.

    Affirmative action (lowering hiring standards) is the root cause of this. Applicant testing was changed in the mid 80's.

    This was not a Baltimore City Jail, this was a State of Maryland Prison. Please stop trying to deflect the problem.

    Mr. Hogan are you paying attention? There are problems in YOUR jails now.
