A supervisory drug counselor at Calipatria State Prison in Imperial County, Angela Carr, was indicted today (May 10) for smuggling methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana into the facility.
Carr routinely met with inmates attending the prison's substance-abuse program, according to the San Diego office of the United States Attorney, which is handling the case.
Four of her codefendants are inmates at the prison. Three of them participated in her drug-addiction recovery program, and one of the three was a drug mentor to other inmates. All told, eight people were indicted.
According to a search-warrant affidavit, Carr received the drugs from women who have relationships with inmates. She would bring the drugs inside the prison concealed in containers such as cookie boxes. According to the indictment, Carr smuggled as many as 40 cell phones into the prison, and the phones were used to coordinate criminal activity. The scheme fell apart last August when she was stopped at the prison entrance reeking of marijuana.
