A Georgia inmate serving a life sentence built two bombs in prison and mailed them to the DOJ headquarters in DC and a federal courthouse in Alaska, federal prosecutors said.
According to a grand jury indictment, 55-year-old David Cassady reportedly put both bombs in the mail from prison in Tattnall County in January 2020.
The charging documents however do not say how Cassady built the bombs or how he was able to mail them to his intended targets from prison.
A spokesperson for the prison said, “Cassady was able to manipulate primarily items he was authorized to possess into makeshift explosive devices.”
Federal prosecutors did not say why it took more than four years to charge David Cassady.
The bombs did not explode.
Cassady was charged with one count of making an unregistered destructive device, two counts of mailing a destructive device and two counts of attempted malicious use of an explosive, the Justice Department said.
The DOJ said the indictment alleges the bombs were sent in an attempt “to maliciously damage or destroy, by means of fire or explosive, a building in whole or in part owned or possessed by, or leased to, the United States,” and “created substantial risk of injury to a person.”
“Protecting our personnel and facilities is a fundamental role of our office and of our law enforcement partners,” said US Attorney Jill Steinberg. “We also will take action against inmates who seek to commit crimes and harm the public from behind bars.”

I am guessing he used the mail.
He did it with a little help from inside. If those packages weren’t searched by an officer prior to mailing them out, then somebody didn’t do their job, or deliberately didn’t do their job. No x-ray machine or metal detector at that place to process the package through, in this day and age? I find that hard to believe. We had them in our package rooms, in NY State’s prisons over 20 years ago. Only officers processed packages coming in, and going out.
That Georgia prison must have terrible employees.
Either they are too lazy to watch the inmates or they are knowingly complicit.
Next time some dope tells you that gun control will work, show them this story.
This guy was BEHIND BARS yet he BUILT and successfully MAILED BOMBS.
Criminals gonna criminal.
Using the US Mail it meant such a delay after being lost and then misdirected and re-routed to the right address that the bomb materials degraded and then disintegrated into moldy paste. Like old flashlight batteries turning to whitish gunk.
I recently had three inexpensive items lost in the mail to me and earlier have had some stated as “delivered” (one had a $56 value) and probably stolen by the woman who was the Saturday substitute for my good mail man who gets a Christmas gift card every December from me. Since the P.O. complaint investigation claimed “delivered” and their phony GPS for her said it was barcode scanned as delivered right near my place, I was refused money for the loss. Shmucks.
Mr. Cassidy will be heading to a SuperMax prison when his next federal trial is done.
Bombs do not a prison make.
one would have to be the most brilliant chemist and mail fraud expert EVER! Good luck with that! we can all be sure that mail in AND out of any prison will be subject to intense scrutiny and may require recompense of some type to facilitate what comes in and what goes out. maybe a Rich chemist “accidentally” poisoned some folks while they were dining with his now deceased wife? maybe a chemist with a minor in microbiiogy with an agenda toward the virus pimps who SOLD his covid ideas to “someone else” without asking first? wondering who wants who to be the who that the other who’s are going to do the “who” to to determine the hierarchy of who IS who?
Bubba be smart.
I think he broke the law.
And the ATF will want more money and more laws?
Probably just drop-shipped it from Amazon.
The bombs did not explode.
Fake, hence no explanation.
Ban mail.
