A Maryland inmate was just convicted of planning a prison break-in

A Maryland inmate serving a life sentence for conspiracy to commit murder was convicted again on Thursday of conspiring with two other men to use a drone to smuggle drugs and pornography into prison.

Charles Brooks, 43, was sentenced to 13 years after an Allegany County jury convicted him on two counts of conspiracy and two counts of possessing contraband with intent to distribute, according to court records.

Thaddeus Shortz, 25, of Knoxville, and Keith Brian Russell, 30, of Silver Spring, were convicted last year.

They were arrested in August 2015 parked outside the Western Correctional Institution in Cumberland, Maryland.

Police seized pornographic video discs, tobacco, a loaded handgun, illegal drugs, and the drone.

The least they could do is provide them some porn. Really.
