No StatStat Contraband Data for Prison At Center of Baltimore Prison Scandal
StateStat, Governor Martin O’Malley’s vaunted data metric system for measuring government performance, contains no specific information on contraband seizures for the facility at the heart of prison scandal where the U.S. Justice Department alleges several guards assisted the Black Guerrilla Family gang in drug trafficking and money laundering.
According to the federal indictment 13 sate correctional officers assisted the BGF’s criminal enterprise outside the prison by smuggling cellphones, drugs and other contraband into the state run Baltimore City Detention Center. BGF kingpin, Tavon White, impregnated four female prison guards. On an intercepted cell phone call White said, “This is my jail. You understand that? I’m dead serious. I make every final call in this jail.”
