Partnership With Calhoun County Sheriff ’ s Office Results in Multiple Arrests
Through the perseverance of our Office of Professional Standards Special Agents and our partnership with Calhoun County Sheriff ' s Office ( SO ), a total of 24 civilians , including one juvenile have been arrested for attempting to introduce contraband into Calhoun State Prison in Morgan , Georgia over the period July 16 – August 22 .
" We stand committed in our continuing efforts to bring justice to those who threaten the safety of our staff , inmates , and the citizens of Georgia ," said Commissioner Oliver . " The takeaway from these arrests is that we maintain a watchful eye and will pursue prosecution to the fullest extent .
The work of our Agents alongside the Calhoun County SO is a great example of the importance of collaboration in our efforts to ensure public safety ,” continued Oliver .
Due to the increased number of contraband introduction attempts at Calhoun SP , the GDC partnered with the Calhoun County SO to assist in a multifaceted approach to halt illegal contraband from entering the facility . These recent arrests represent only a fraction of individuals being arrested for contraband introduction in GDC facilities across the state , and we will continue to hold anyone involved accountable for these actions .
