December 2, 2021
A correctional officer at the Escambia County (AL) Detention Center is facing charges for allegedly smuggling contraband into the facility.
Taylor Boatright was charged with promoting prison contraband and use of an official position for personal gain.
“Boatright received money from the inmate to purchase the phone and to bring it inside the facility,” Escambia County (AL) Sheriff Heath Jackson said.
The phone was round during a routine search of employees entering the jail.
Boatwright was released on a $30,000 bond.

Bless her heart, wasn’t about the money, just hungry for a boyfriend (bad) …..
This is a discrace, you have got a Sheriff that is trying to run a clean jail and you got people like this that see a way to make a dollar and break rules and bring contraband in the jail. If the Sheriff would start making examples out of these creeps they would think twice about doing it. There should be a mandatory prison sentence for people that do this, if it was I bet you would see less of this happening. Was it really worth it!!!
This is a decades, if not centuries old occurance in America’s penal system.
She was simply caught in the act.
Ya can’t fix stupid
The job didn’t pay well so she I guess she decided to do illegal stuff knowing that when she got caught she would have a good chance to see how they really live in prison!!!!! Well you have finally made your folks proud!!!! YOU ARE GOING TO PRISON !!!! And good luck with that ignorant life changing decision !!!!!!!!!!
yea right,blame the prisoners,the result of this will be more hassle for the visitors which will mean less visits which is what the man wants!
i agree with you Shay. i worked in a prison and have seen this. the inmates prey on the weak.
Correctional Officers should be given greater scrutiny when entering the facility for any reason. Some of these Officers have associates that are gang connected and are willing to be a mule for the right price, others see an opportunity for easy money, but either way they are NOT scrutinized enough.
Criminals are opportunistic and pray on those with low or no self esteem. I don’t know this woman but I’m assuming,because of her weight, that she might have had self esteem issues. Having been a big girl once upon a time myself I get it. You may get away with this for a minute but they will catch you. How much is that inmates money going to help with your bills now? SMH
