A detention officer believed to have been providing cocaine to inmates in return for sexual favors was arrested Monday, said Maricopa County Sheriff’s officials.
Ryan White, 26, a four-year veteran at the Fourth Avenue Jail is suspected of befriending a female inmate and her roommate and providing them with cocaine that he smuggled into the jail in the pocket of his uniform, sheriff officials said.
Reports said that the two women “coerced” White into providing drugs in exchange for sexual favors.
Rebecca Real, 28, and Priscilla Marquez, 23, were also placed under arrest, according to reports.
White was booked and held on suspicion of promoting jail contraband and assisting in a criminal syndicate.
doesnt sound like an illegal to me????hmmmmmmmm… once again no comments..
it’s hard to find good head. i don’t blame the guy.
Hope he had a good time.
What a hair lipped idiot
oh yeah thats way hot!
4 yrs as an officer he should’ve known better……….inmate games. As a “man” he should learn to keep his buddy in his pants………typical…………..what kind of charges are they going to get? Any sex offenses so he’d have to register as a sex offender? prostitution? The reporting of the facts in newspapers is sometimes so sketchy its hard to tell anymore whats really going on.
We have never been able to stop drug use even in our jails and prisons. Drug use is not a criminal matter it is a medical issue. Put drugs back into the hands of doctors and unload our jails and free our police and courts to pursue real criminals. This war on weak people has brought this nation to its knees. We can’t fix addiction, immigration, health care, the economy or the violence that is raging in our streets until we end this idiotic drug war.
A corrupt detention officer doesn’t surprise me. I’m more aghast at the logical fallacies in cimmentor Arlin Troutt’s response. I guess this nation has been “brought to its knees” by a “war on weak people.” And according to Mr. Troutt we can’t fix the economy (which is not a disembodied entity but you and me and the fat cat on wall street; “economics” is the study of human nature) until we “end this idiotic drug war.” Sheesh. Calling the discovery of a corrupt detention officer a war is mind-bogglingly moronic.
arlinn you are wrong about letting people use drugs. Let’s look at 2 quick examples which are polar opposites. The Netherlands: GDP lagging and very little growth or innovation, crime rate substantial - drug use allowed. Singapore: GDP huge increases, lots of innovation, low crime overa - drug use not allowed; to the point where a kilo of pot will get you the noose (nope, not exagerating. something like 130 people have gotten hanged there in the last 10 years for drug distribution).
More severe penalties are the answer, not less severe. Go after the dealers, that, I agree with, but go after their head, hands, feet, etc. and I mean literally.
Drug use is with us to stay and has been with us since someone fermented a fruit or licked a toad:)
Drug use or its punishment is not the issue here. It is that a person in a position of responsibility leveraged his position to manipulate others. Yes HIM. He was the one with the access and freedom of choice to do it, The Girls were doing what criminals do…. take advantage of weakness an opportunity. Girls should get internal punishment as if if being locked up is not enough and he should be fired and charged with a crime, so he cannot accidentaly get a job in Pinal county:)
azmesa: Finding two situations that fit your profile hardly make a case either…take Amsterdam for instance; legal marijuana with lower usage rates than neighboring countries in which it’s illegal, and comparable to lower crime rates…oh crap, that doesn’t fit does it? Well, I’m sure we can just ignore that little one, eh? *sighs sadly* Let’s face it people, drugs vs. the economy is such a broad topic that without years of research (Which no one has really done without bias to this point) we’ll never be able to make any real conclusions as to whether legalizing or mandating more severe punishments is a better tactic. Wait, we were talking about a police officer selling drugs, weren’t we? wow… there’s actually an argument here?

I believe my point has been missed by Carrie Boyer that has called me a moron for expressing my opinion. What I was trying to say is that drug laws cannot be enforced even after turning the world into a big prison camp where the guards trade drugs for sex. Drugs are a private issue that has been turned into a law enforcement and prison industry business. These unenforceable laws have created the black market that finances the gangs of cops, prison guards and drug dealers that fight this war in our streets for money everyday. Try to imagine what it would be like in our neighborhoods and living rooms if this drug war ended. Our prisons are full , our dollar is failing, our families are scattered and our streets are war zones. Doctors could start giving these people the help that this prison guard was demanding sex for. The point is that this is an unjustifiable and un-winnable war that targets the weakest amongst us and divides us. Unenforceable laws create disrespect, distrust and chaos and that is exactly what this drug war has brought us. From our living rooms to our borders this war has touched everyones life. Many people feel that way I do but do not want to be called a moron or drug addict for expressing their opinions. I am proud to be called a Moronic Cimmentor by Carrie Boyer. What’s a cimmentor?
