DETROIT – Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said Wednesday that two corrections officers and one inmate had been charged for allegedly smuggling marijuana and tobacco into Ryan Correctional Facility in Detroit.
In a release, Schuette said former officer Corey Louis Young, 37, of Detroit, and officer Joseph Louis Jordan, 27, of Detroit, are accused of accepting payments from friends and relatives of inmates in exchange for smuggling marijuana and tobacco products into their cells. The scheme was uncovered on Aug. 11, 2010, when a prison search of the cell belonging to inmate Carolos Neely, 29, revealed contraband tobacco and marijuana. Investigation by Michigan State Police later revealed that Young allegedly brought a handgun on to prison property in his vehicle, which is a criminal violation.
