Prison guards are breaking bad all over the place. 

In West Boylston, Massachusetts, a Worcester County correctional officer was charged in October with allegedly smuggling drugs into the Worcester County Jail and House of Correction. Now-former correctional officer Nevin Daniel Robles went down after jail authorities began probing the presence of Suboxone in the jail. He is charged with conspiracy to violate drug laws, possession with intent to distribute a Class B substance, and delivering drugs or other prohibited articles to a prisoner. The possession and delivery charges are felonies; the conspiracy charge is a misdemeanor. 

In Kansas City, Missouri, a Jackson County jail officer was arrested on October 16 on charges of delivering a prohibited article into a jail and attempting to distribute a controlled substance (LSD blotter). Jail guard Jeremy Zola Mfundu went down after a tip, and a recorded call with an informant implicated him.

In Huntsville, Alabama, a Madison County detention officer was arrested in late October after accepting a large sum of money and a package of drugs in a parking lot that was intended to be brought into the jail. Now-former detention officer Alhusain Muzayad, 22, allegedly conspired with an inmate to smuggle the dope behind bars and is now charged with conspiracy to commit a Class B felony. He was released on $30,000 bail early on October 31. 

In Biloxi, Mississippi, an East Mississippi Correctional Facility guard was arrested November 2 after an I-10 traffic stop where deputies seized 10 pounds of methamphetamine after a drug dog alerted on the vehicle. Guard Taurus Bush, who worked for a private contractor that employs correctional officers, is charged with aggravated drug trafficking. He was booked into the Harrison County Jail on a $150,000 bond. 

In Los Angeles, a former LA County deputy was sentenced on November 5 to 67 months in federal prison for smuggling heroin into the jail. Michael Meiser, 41, a former deputy in Operation Safe Jails, had pleaded guilty in July 2025 to possession with intent to distribute heroin. Prosecutors say he took bribes in a Mexican Mafia scheme to bring about a pound of black tar heroin, hidden in Pringles tubes, into the North County Correctional Facility in Castaic. He was arrested on April 30, 2024, with $15,000 in cash.
