After allegedly delivering drugs to a prisoner, a correctional guard from Massachusetts was taken into custody.
Roxsandra Wright was taken into custody by State Police on Saturday, November 2, as part of an ongoing DOC and MSP investigation into the importation of illegal drugs into DOC facilities. The Department of Correction (DOC) in Massachusetts stated.
Wright was taken into custody on suspicion of bringing paper contaminated with synthetic cannabinoids to MCI-Shirley.
“The Massachusetts Department of Correction holds all staff members to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity,” DOC Interim Commissioner Shawn Jenkins stated. “Any behavior that compromises the safety and security of our facilities, or undermines public trust, will not be tolerated. I want to thank the Massachusetts State Police for their invaluable coordination and collaboration on this matter.”
“Recognizing the risks that contraband poses to the safety and health of both staff and incarcerated individuals, the DOC has implemented a comprehensive, multi-layered approach to prevent the introduction of illicit substances,” the DOC stated.
