[@pbj0815]

None of this is possible without having a few staff members in on it. That is all.

[@howlinwulf]

Finally people are starting to realize. I haven't gotten to watch it all yet. But I hope they name the officers.

[@rashaansmith1978]

Ok we get that dosent change the fact they're all going to jail or never getting back out

[@spaceshipearthresident4283]

How about the guards that let it happen?

[@pattih7]

The guards don’t handle Commissary; it’s run separately. .

[@spaceshipearthresident4283]

Contraband is not manufactured in jail, it is allowed to go through by authorities. What happened here is someone did not get paid/get their cut and they snitched. She said one detention officer has been charged meaning their are more. They're like roaches once you see one, you can guarantee their is more. Who let's a comisary acct reach north of 10k let alone 30k and no one gets suspicious? This is an inside job from the bottom to the top

[@williamzander9708]

This isn’t any different then the prisoners getting loans during Covid and collecting unemployment.

[@candicavasos4866]

Or being let out because of covid. 30000 inmates. While we were told to stay inside.

[@RobertRodriguezRoblime]

YOU HAVE TO BE A BAD PERSON TO GET ARRESTED WHILE IN JAIL.

[@asamanthinketh2024]

Or just an addict

[@howlinwulf]

Just as bad as the officers who took money to bring the drugs in.

[@traciesmith1371]

Happened all the time

[@CanDeeMarie]

Entire family of criminals 😂 bums

[@42322]

I haven't been to prison, but from what I hear,it seems pretty hard to stay out of trouble in prison.

[@mauriceholder1386]

Criminal activity in the jail ? I'm shocked.....

[@Bijou1169]

With as much technology as we have, how did that amount of money movement not get flagged before it got to be $30k?

[@danasmith858]

When you hire the usual suspects and expect different results

[@danijones819]

investigate them employees

[@texaspapa9445]

They are not being honest about tracking commissary receipts and cash flow per prisoner.

[@matthewstrickland5788]

And yet they let it go on !

[@kc8767]

$4 for a notebook?? Is criminal in itself. Greed😮

[@gotyesomeonyouusetoknow]

@@kc8767 how about $3 per call and the online text messages are expensive

[@angelaconley9444]

So much CORRUPTION…

[@Lisa-f5v4r]

water dept. too.

[@SuBzErO.223]

When I was in tarrant county jail they had everything pills, weed, meth, coke, etc I was shocked even the guards were like no smoking on my shift and some would say “come on guys don’t be so obvious” corrupt to the max .

[@ericbrowning9971]

There should be a cap on all prisoner's commissary accounts. Nearly $30k is ridiculous.

[@tyrannicaltypomichaeltester]

Need to be looking into the guards

[@Paul-rj2gw]

Investigate your guards.

[@miketuggle9273]

Here is a tip off, Investigate the guards, police, local/state/federal politicians. I wonder if the DA is corrupt too?

[@_eaturveggies01]

Dying of a drug overdose in jail is pathetic and sad. No family, no friends…

[@MartenKrueger-sx4me]

Was that not their choice? They did things to get too prison, and willing did drugs while in there.... accountability matters!

[@MichaelGammon21bravo]

sounds good to me, its called Degenerate natural selection

[@howlinwulf]

​@@MartenKrueger-sx4mekeep that same energy when the guards who brought the drugs in are named.

[@daviddalton8996]

Glad this corruption has been revealed.

[@pattih7]

Not corruption in the system; Criminal activity by prisoners, and outsiders, using Cash App to deposit funds to prisoner Commissary account, from outside or inside drug sales. That’s my understanding , from what was told by this video.

[@RichardBrown-bn4mg]

Going to jail while in jail is savage

[@chrisl1201]

The jailers and employees are the people who need to be investigated. Bout time for you to move around Kim. Worthless DA, corrupt jail, slime bag judges.

[@MarieScott-mx5lj]

He gonna need to file that with the IRS😅

[@cheetoesgal5229]

I just wrote a comment about that!! And it's not hard to come up with a title of his money-making operation: In-house pharmacist. 😂😂😂

[@traciesmith1371]

Lol

[@MarieScott-mx5lj]

@@cheetoesgal5229 pharmaceutical entrepreneur 😅

[@pamelaobiols7050]

The commasary alone is a crime & then the phone system is a scam aswell ! They just mad cuz they weren't included & didn't get a cut !

[@Specterm67]

The inmate made more money on the inside then on the outside of Jail!!! 🗝️

[@fighting4freedomis4thepoor]

There's no way the jail didn't know what was going on they're supposed to keep you safe so why isn't in jail being held accountable for the deaths??

[@Starts_like_this]

Ok hate to say it but perhaps look at the guards. Shocking this could happen in a jail?

[@jeanettesmith765]

I bet they are, and yeah, I bet there are quite a few crooked ones.

[@Starts_like_this]

@@jeanettesmith765 she will be gone by December 31, 2024 - good riddens, let’s hope the next DA actually cleans up Harris county with all this corruption. It’s so sickening and not a direct reflection of the people - who are sick of it. And with the influx of people moving to Texas we need more clarity and transparency and justice. These things should not be happening.

[@MarieScott-mx5lj]

Surprised they didn't give them bonds.

[@TheIrishdriven]

How dare an inmate interfere with the Co's side hustles stealing those profits harms corrections staff family lifestyles

[@MostlyCloudy]

Whitmire making the DA finally do her job lol. Good. I love this mayor

[@michaelleonard4826]

How many others are involved and how many states are involved.?. How deep is the corruption.?.

[@UrbanOutlaw713]

The commissary is used to make money for the county a couple dollars buys u nothing in there it’s usually like 75 -100 a week u can spend and shits double what it costs out here. If u go to prison it follows u if u get out u get ur money back.

[@roboticusroboticus7912]

Been in jail plenty of times and each time people are high G I wonder who’s bringing the drugs into the jail. we got search at least two times a day.

[@UrbanOutlaw713]

The sheriffs and staff u ain’t gotta wonder

[@traciesmith1371]

How much was on his account? From my understanding you can only get a certain amount per month.

[@traciesmith1371]

I thought their was a limit per month for commissary?

[@michaelmccoy2621]

Yea it's mainly law enforcement getting drugs to inmates...HELLO.....when are yall Gonna take action against the real Criminals..

[@missychan63]

Any idiot knows you don't have $30,000 go through your commissary account! No red flags there. And then they talk about it on a recorded phone line? 😂😂😂

[@boujeelivingwithjen3296]

This reminds me of the podcast On Our Watch. Apparently corruption is everywhere in the justice system.

Life in prison for given permission by the cash app account holder to transfer funds to the inmates' books is outrageous.

“Seen this is some other country” Hm

[@ibuprofenBAN]

Nothing cost more than a few dollars?! She ain't been to or visited anyone in jail.

[@pamelaobiols7050]

Wat a about all the guards involved ,cuz you can't have all this going on unless guards let & make it happen

[@bigrob1027]

Can't be murder if a person willingly took something. Especially if law enforcement is complicit!

Correction Officers would NEVER smuggle contraband into jails or prison. Never happen😂😂😂

[@hosermandeusl2468]

I see a kettle calling a pot "black".

[@MercyOnMySoul]

If it weren't for the deaths caused by fentanyl overdoses, this organized criminal in jail would never have been found. The jail system failed to catch them operating right under the guards' noses.

[@L.D.Intheditch]

[@Mikedaone240]

18min of going in circles talking about the same thing 😂

[@cheetoesgal5229]

So I'm just curious. Since the IRS has this "interesting" rule that says you must report all money you make on your tax return, ALSO money made from illegal activities (which brings to mind the image of a jillion scammers and drug lords faithfully reporting their ill-gotten gains to the IRS 🤣🤣🤣), has this criminal made sure that he's been duly reporting his drug-selling activities....conducted from inside the jail, no less...to the IRS?? 🤔🤔🤔

[@justamediumdeal5828]

Put a cap on it?!? Come on . I stand corrected she says that later.

[@UrbanOutlaw713]

She sounded dumb if u have any knowledge of the county jail and commissary and how the inmate trust fund works rain ur scratching ur head at how dumb these two sounded. Dude probably beats the case 🤦🏽‍♂️

They should be arresting the constables that arrested librarians for doing their jobs as librarians. These are the same books that the Constable probably read when he was in school. That's where we going in this country if you keep voting Republican like Texas governor Abbott, Cancun Cruz , Ken Paxton, Trump and project 25 it will only get worse!!!
