Female correctional officer caught on videotape fondling a gang member under a table; a female correctional officer caught having sexual contact

Manitoba Female correctional officer caught on videotape fondling a gang member under a table; a female correctional officer caught having sexual contact with another gang member inside a storage closet; and a female correctional officer caught smoking marijuana while on duty.Forrester said changes are being made to improve the screening of potential new hires, bolster security measures behind bars and provide additional training to correctional officers."We're always trying to tighten the criteria, to ensure people who shouldn't be working in our system do not work in our system," he said."As long as there are inmates and as long as there are gangs, there will be efforts to turn our staff. This is going to continue on as long as there are jails."A source who works in the community with gang members said they personally witnessed one young man deliver a bag of marijuana to one of the now-fired female Headingley correctional officers in early December.
A corrections employee said two of the three women fired had been involved in drug smuggling for inmates. He accused jail management of "sweeping these criminal acts under the rug" by refusing to tell the public or even other employees about what had happened. Another former employee, who has since moved to another department in corrections, said Tuesday she also witnessed several examples of drug smuggling and inappropriate sexual contact between guards and inmates."I realized that this profession breaks even the most hardened person. It corrupts people in the sickest ways possible. The ‘bad' guards are not nearly investigated enough, nor disciplined enough, and the ‘good' ones pay the price for it," the employee said.

Timothy “Fuzzy” Timms, a 45-year-old member of the Hells Angels Motorcycle club, stood up Monday for his First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Timms, a resident of the San Diego community of South Park, refused to take off a black leather vest with the motorcycle club's “death's head” insignia when he reported for jury duty. He's a big burly man, 5 feet 8 inches, 250 pounds, with a full beard and auburn-colored, shoulder-length hair. At 7:45 a.m., Timms' stance got him booted from the San Diego Superior Court's Hall of Justice by sheriff's deputies, along with another Hells Angel who also refused to remove his insignia vest. Nine hours later, representatives of both the Superior Court and the sheriff's department apologized to Timms and club member Mick Rush for “misunderstanding” an order issued April 24 by Superior Court Judge Jeffrey Fraser. Rush also had been reporting for jury duty. “It all boils down to a misunderstanding of Judge Fraser'

Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow

Rivi was, for a time, the hit-man of choice for Griselda Blanco, aka the Black Widow. Griselda was the grande dame of the Miami cocaine business, a Colombian mother of three, of impoverished origins, who slaughtered and intimidated her way to the top of a billion-dollar industry. She is a central character in this movie, the most deadly figure in a story in which the bodies are stacked like dominos. Conspicuous by her absence as an interviewee, she is one of the few key survivors of the era whom the film-makers were unable to coax before the lens. “Her release was imminent at that point, as was her deportation. I think she has changed her mind since, because we have been reapproached,” Corben says. contract killer Jorge “Rivi” Ayala, the director of Cocaine Cowboys Billy Corben says: “He told me where there is a body buried in Miami, by the Florida turnpike. It’s all developed now, malls and condominiums. He knows where all the bodies are buried. We told the police. I think he told the
