Corrections Officer Facing Drug Charges
July 6, 2013
An Escambia County (Ala.) corrections officer has been charged with smuggling contraband into the county jail to sell to inmates.
Jane Rogers Johnson, 58, was charged with two counts of possession of a controlled substance, one count of drug trafficking and a violation of Alabama’s ethics law. She allegedly introduced pills, cocaine and other contraband into the Escambia County Detention Center in Brewton, and then sold the items to inmates.
Her arrest came after a unrelated joint investigation by the Alabama Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Marshal’s Service. As investigators interview inmates about a person possibly impersonating an attorney to gain access to inmates, they discovered Johnson’s alleged activities.
For her own safe Johnson is being held in the Baldwin County Jail in Bay Minette rather than Escambia County, Ala.. She is being held without bond. . She may face federal charges from the U.S. Marshals because the Brewton jail also houses federal inmates under contract.

Naïveté is the common denominator here. Who knows what really transpired? Are we really blindly trusting the media, now? And law enforcement? Don’t get me started. That anyone is shocked about this makes me lol. You people should get out more, or at least watch some more TV. Ha!
Wow. They keep women in prison alot longer than they keep men .She will have plenty of time to think about what a huge mistake that was.
@Thomas! You sound a little bitter?!
I personally resent you making accusations
that the ECSO is a bunch of drug users!
Be careful what you say! Unless you can
back up your trash talk!! Just because there
is one bad apple in the bunch, that doesn’t
make make them all bad! If you had any
sense or character you would know that!
But since I’m wasting my breath on a
looser… I’ll make myself clear! You
would never have what it takes to be
on one of them!! So keep on wishing
and dreaming!! Jealousy is so so ugly!!!
So Much For “TRUST” Uh …
Maybe this type of behavior is why Cedric Floyd was about to walk out of the jail. Did the Sheriff’s Office ever release how that happen ???
I can only pray that Ms. Johnson is punished as a any other state law enforcement officer or correctional officer would be. Their punishment should be much stiffer than any other individual in the community, because she took an oath to uphold. And we wonder why other correctional staff gets a bad rap, because, of the ones such as Ms. Johnson.
DISGUSTED & PATHETIC….
@ Thomas. First what’s a duty follower? Lol
Get your facts straight. Dirty leader ? If the leader
Is so dirty why was she arrested ,held without bond
and being prosecuted ?
I would think Drug testing is not very effective in this instance. These men and woman are selling these drugs at 3-4x maybe even more than the street value. Only low level dealers get high on their own supply. These people are doing business not drugs.
Both lie detector and drug testing would be a good idea.
a random lie detecting policy would offer a degree of deterant, i would think
Drug testing employees would clean out your dirty officers.
How would “drug testing everyone” stop contraband from being brought into the jail? I must have missed the portion of the article that stated the alleged suspect was under the influence of narcotics at the time of her arrest.
Guess she had a captive clientele.
Funny how some dealers sell drugs to support their own habit.
I say the entire Dept need to be investigated because she’s not the only one but she the only one that got caught. They need to drug test EVERYBODY from the front door to the back door. Dirty leaders produce duty followers!
Know telling how long this had been going on. Thats a shame.it’s not only in ala, It’s everywhere. I’am sure this Problem Happens alot.
I hope she gets more than a slap on the hand. Pretty tired of people in charge getting off easy. To many times it is just “oh poor thing, give another chance”. And they just go do it again.
What a pun. Drug Arrest during JOINT INVESTIGATION.
Crime is a risky business. If you choose to do it you’ve got to be able to accept the consequences. Sometime it just doesn’t pay off.
No need in crying now..
