Two Century Correctional Officers Charged With Smuggling Drugs Into The Prison
July 26, 2024
Two Century Correctional Institution correctional officers have been were arrested this week for
Ysuna Myteria Staples, age 29 of Atmore, was charged with delivery of synthetic cannabinoids and smuggling contraband into a prison.
Brandi Shaniece Major, age 29 of Mobile, was charged with delivery of synthetic cannabinoids, smuggling contraband into a prison, and trafficking methamphetamine.
All of the charges are felonies.
In February, Staples and Majors were subject to random “pat-downs” before entering the prison for their shifts.
“During these pat-downs, items were felt on each officer’s person that appeared to be contraband,” an Escambia County Sheriff’s Office deputy wrote in his report.
According to the arrest report:
Major was asked and voluntarily removed three plastic packages from her pants that contained 166.5 grams of methamphetamine and 269 grams of MDPV (methylenedioxypyrovalerone, commonly known as “bath salts”).
Staples was asked and voluntarily removed a single plastic package of 165.5 grams of spice.
The incident was captured on Century CI surveillance cameras.
Major was released from the Escambia County Jail on a $100,000 bond. Staples was released on a $30,000 bond.

@What at first I read your comment different than I think you meant it , or a least I hope I did , and that had me saying “WHAT” as well . If stupidity is an excuse for being judged incompetent we will have to hang it up cause 90% of these drug idiots will use it as their defense. i can see the bulbs going off in their heads as I type. Please judge give them everything possible by law and then search one more time to make sure there’s nothing else you can slap on their heads. Let’s make it not look so intriguing to other correctional officers. However they were in the wrong job to begin with if it caught their eye..,,….
Can’t get any dumber than this.
If these two are as stupid as they look, I’m expecting an “incompetent to stand trial, defense, and case dismissals.
Where I don’t like to rejoice over anyone’s downfall… I must say that karma is real. Whatever you sow in this life you will reap. If they have children…they must’ve not really thought about how their actions will affect them. Very sad.
Sounds like this has been going on for a while!!! So I say when convicted put both in prison so they can be with their kind of people!! Oh also make the sentence a long one like 30 years each!!!!!
It amazes me how many drug and crime stories on NE.com have an Atmore connection.
I really wish these people would listen in the Academy. You have instructors with a magnitude of experience spending their time to serve students and TEACH these people how to do your best and avoid the intimidation of certain inmates. Pardon me for stating the obvious but these two are some weak women who deserve what they get from this. Very pathetic.
Criminals typically are not that smart; as you can see here. Enjoy your carbon steel view.
I’m beginning to see a trend here. Drop the bomb on these vultures.
It’s about time they did something, when I worked out there all they did was fire them. People that bring anything in needs to be arrested.
YOU CANT FIX STUPID! What a disgrace to the badge/Uniform.
Ugh. Your poor choices hurt us! I hope you both get the maximum sentence! It’s disgusting to see this nonsense happening! You are risking every other officers life when you make these poor choices.
Well..so much for having a good steady job
and good income for a good life..the next 5 or 10 years will not
be so much fun…and getting any kind of job now will
be a challenge for them both..
As a previous inmate of Esc. Cty jail, I’m glad the two of them were arrested also. Some inmates, over time, correct their mistakes, and learn to appreciate their sit-down, “time-out” time bc not only do they get the ability to humble themselves, but coming off of drugs, they’re able to actually feel their emotions again, and heal some wounds from their past that they may not have been able to grieve over entirely. But, these two eight here, are taking that chance away from them by. That being said, wonderful job ESC CTY Jail, I appreciate you!!
So glad they finally got them and made an example out of them. I hope they continue to arrested the ones bringing stuff into to the institution. Ones like this make the rest of us look bad and put everyone in danger, officers and inmates. Female or male, if you come to work to bring stuff to inmates please find somewhere else to work. Some of us are there to actually do our jobs and support our families.
