Federal inmates caught escaping prison and returning with whiskey

Four federal prison inmates have been charged after law enforcement say they repeatedly escaped prison only to return each time with contraband.

The men, 34-year-old Julian Lemus, Robert Young, 45, Leo Martinez, 25, and 35-year-old Silvstre Rico were nabbed by U.S. Marshals last week as they escaped from the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institute complex in Texas, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

Marshals said that they began surveillance after “repeated reports” of prisoners continuing to escape and bring back contraband such as whiskey and cellphones into the complex, which houses both low- and medium-security inmates.

“Investigators observed 4 males leave the prison grounds and cut through a neighboring ranch. The inmates ran when they saw the Law Enforcement Officers step out of the brush. All 4 inmates were quickly taken into custody,” the statement reads.

It remains unclear where the contraband items came from or how the prisoners were escaping from the facility itself.

The four men were charged with escape.

The Western Massachusetts prison at Greenfield was notorious for graft. Prisoners at Walpole and Concord with money stashed could get transferred.
If they still had money, the warden and guards would give inmates women, liquor, drugs or whatever.
Special inmates were allowed to go anywhere within the state on special licenses to see Mom, a girlfriend or to rub out his gang successor, etc.
State Police and municipal cops never messed with Corrections graft.
Professional courtesy, you know.

One of the MA State Police troops was totally disbanded due to corrupt overtime practices.

MA Governor hid 350,000 emails regarding failures of MA RMV to revoke licenses of CDLs, including immigrant cokehead whose sideways trailer killed 7 US Marine motorcyclists in NH.

MA Crime Lab employees stole cocaine and replaced cocaine with fake powder!

Prisons are too comfy if you get caught breaking into them.

Isn't it illegal to break into prison?

“Shot while escaping” would’ve solved the problem.
