Drug counselor indicted for smuggling drugs
Prisoners and their friends helped sneak the stash in Calipatria
Calipatria State Prison
A supervisory drug counselor at Calipatria State Prison in Imperial County, Angela Carr, was indicted today (May 10) for smuggling methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana into the facility.
Carr routinely met with inmates attending the prison's substance-abuse program, according to the San Diego office of the United States Attorney, which is handling the case.
Four of her codefendants are inmates at the prison. Three of them participated in her drug-addiction recovery program, and one of the three was a drug mentor to other inmates. All told, eight people were indicted.
According to a search-warrant affidavit, Carr received the drugs from women who have relationships with inmates. She would bring the drugs inside the prison concealed in containers such as cookie boxes. According to the indictment, Carr smuggled as many as 40 cell phones into the prison, and the phones were used to coordinate criminal activity. The scheme fell apart last August when she was stopped at the prison entrance reeking of marijuana.

Gee, do you think she will be fired from her job? Or will the corrections department buy her out of her sweet position? Actually, I can't even imagine what it is like to work, day after day, in a prison like that one. But if anyone cannot handle the stresses, there's a way out--quit! Obviously, she didn't do that, and let herself be compromised for . . . what?
Visduh: According to the U.S. Attorney's office, she only made $3000 for her smuggling. She took a big risk for a very small payoff. Best, Don Bauder
Sick and disturbed predator drug dealers thought they had captive clients. Even worse, who obviously already have enough of a tough time.
shirleyberan: "Tough time" is what she faces. Best, Don Bauder
