The Just-Us System strikes again.

[Ludwig Von Mises]

"This week, James Johnson, a former Kentucky correctional officer, avoided jail time after he admitted to sexually assaulting dozens of inmates and supplying the prison with drugs.

Johnson worked at the Kentucky Correctional Institute for women in Pewee Valley, where he admittedly ran a drug ring inside the prison, and sexually assaulted a number of the inmates over a prolonged period of time.

On Monday, the 54-year-old was sentenced to seven years of probation, as a part of a plea deal for charges of sexual abuse, trafficking in a controlled substance and official misconduct."

This fukker needs to get got. Crimes committed under color of law should be dealt with in the harshest possible manner. Instead, it's just another whitewash.

blind justice and the all-white jury.

We have had several officers convicted, and I know of at least one who got prison time (his was for possession of child pornography).

In california, the left has made sure we overpay them, then let them retire at age 50 with a full pension. But no, the unions don't have any influence over the democrats or anything.

Maybe the judge watched too many of those "women in prison" exploitation films from the seventies.

Sexual assault is pretty serious stuff. Having sex with the inmates would just be a viloation of their rules and policies (altough there misht be laws against that too). It's a felony to knowingly bring any drug or weapon into a facility so this guy should have done some time.

Yes because it's well known that overpaid workers with a pension to look forward to are the ones who commit felonies on the job.

I'm not familiar with Kentucky law, but in Nevada it is a felony for a correctional employee to have sexual contact with an inmate. I know of one officer who did, and she received a three-year suspended sentence. While she didn't do prison time, she does have a felony record that will follow her for the rest of her life - a pretty high price to pay.

 

The facility where I work was built and originally operated by a private prison company. Their officers were paid significantly less than state officers are, and they got what they paid for. Illicit contact with inmates was relatively common. One of my first tasks when I took over the medical department was to administer serum pregnancy tests to every inmate under age 50 to see if we had any unknown pregnancies. Fortunately we didn't.
