>>> The only source I can think of for illegal drugs in prison or on death row would be corrupt corrections officers. It wouldn’t be the first time.
It sure wouldn’t. I’ve been told by an ex-corrections officer that CO’s are THE biggest gang in prisons and get away with things that would make your skin crawl.
Early in my career I worked a temporary job providing medical care to prisoners in the Alaska Department of Corrections. I lasted 6 weeks. After 4 weeks the distinction between the guards and the inmates started to blur. I swore I would never work jails again and I’m not far from retirement now.
