Fulton County Jail Inmate Somehow Got To Enjoy Steak Dinner In Their Jail Cell
By Morse Diggs
ATLANTA - Inmat es in the Fulton County Jail with cash can order,
off the books, a restaurant steak dinner.
That is the latest break in protocol
Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat has to worry about.
His investigators
have a video showing smiling inmates boasting about the restau- rant meal they are about enjoy.
Commanders suspect a staffer, likely an officer, brought the food in.
And to wash down their steaks, the inmates hold up orange sodas.
"I have no words for it," said Charles Rambo, a retired sheriff's supervisor. "We didn't have this stuff in my day."
The sheriff answered our inquiry with this statement:
"The delivery of outside food to inmates at the Fulton County Jail is strictly prohibit- ed. Any employee who violates pro- tocol and or allows a breach in
security is disci- plined according to department policy."
Jail sources tell FOX 5 law enforcement and other jail staffers have succumbed to the offer of payment to per- form favors for inmates.
It can be a smug- gled meal, a smoke, narcotics, or high on the list of wants: a cell phone.
What a staffer can get for a phone starts at $2,000, according to people familiar with ongoing investigations.
