COBB COUNTY, Ga. — An attorney is accused of smuggling drugs into jail.

He and three other suspects are facing charges.

Investigators say the drugs were soaked into papers the attorney delivered to his client.

On Instagram, attorney Joseph Anfield-El markets himself as a champion and friend to his clients, but investigators say he wasn’t just representing his clients at the jail.

“He didn’t respect this facility, and in my mind he didn’t service the clients. Yeah, he serviced them, but not the way he should’ve been servicing them with legal services,” said Cobb County Sheriff Craig Owens.

That's it. That's the entire article. No information regarding where he went to school or where he got his J.D. No comments from school friends, professors, or colleagues.

There is a stark difference in the way the media treats some criminally-accused versus how they treat others.

lawyers make so little money that they HAVE to get into the drug-smuggling racket!

besides, so many “judges” appear addicted to some sort of mind-altering substances ... they must be a prime market for these attorney-entrepeneurs?

Thanks for the links. I wonder how much of our tax dollars he has stolen over the past few years.

I knew someone who worked for a Florida prison system. I don’t recall which one. The prisoners got no paper or anything from the outside. Letters were photocopied. Nothing was delivered directly to the prisoner from an outside source. If someone wanted to send something, they could order it from an outside vendor who would purchase it and send it through the prison system to the inmate. The vendor was certified and vetted.

Drugs soaked into paper is such an old trick I’d assume it was easily detected. A certain word would be soaked in something like LSD and the prisoner could lick it and get high.

Wouldn’t have thought of that in a million years. The criminal mind is truly twisted.

“Drugs soaked into paper is such an old trick “

With a new and dangerous twist. These guys are using things you can’t imagine.

One popular item is wasp spray. There are many other chemicals they use as well. They get it smuggled in and smoke it. It makes them crazy as crap, and sometimes just outright kills them. They even smoke the sticky traps we put around for the cockroaches.

The worst part of this is that system wide we have had multiple dozens of staff sickened by fentanyl and these chemicals they smoke. Many injuries, many ambulance rides to the hospital.

It’s an epidemic. I couldn’t even begin to count how many doses of narcan we must go through, just on staff alone.

Me neither. In fact, I was even pondering how a paper soaked in drugs could be used. Apparently licked off. Maybe even smoked.

Good thing colleges lowered standards so people like this can pass the bar. He looks really more smarter.
