Inmate impregnate four warders

IT was like a case of the hunter becoming
the hunted during the week when a
notorious Maryland, the United States of
America (USA) prisoner, Travon White, was
accused of impregnating four female
officials of the prison where he is serving
term.
The illicit activities of White, who was
serving sentence at the Baltimore City
Detention Centre and who was accused of
being a member of a sex ring, was said to
have resulted in his putting four female
officials of the correctional center in the
family way.
Names of the four corrections officers were
given as Jennifer Owens, Katera Stevenson,
Chania Brooks and Tiffany Linder.
In a shocking revelation by federal
prosecutors, 13 female correctional
officers, seven inmates and five others
with gang ties were charged with plotting
to smuggle drugs, cellphones and other
contraband into the Baltimore jail and
other corrections facilities.
An indictment unsealed during the week
said the ring also involved many round of
sex between inmates and guards, a
development that led to four of the prison
officers becoming pregnant by White.
White was described as the leader of a
jailhouse gang called the Black Guerrilla
Family. He is said to be held at the
Baltimore City Detention Center, awaiting
trial on a charge of attempted murder
when the incident happened.
According to Fox News, he was accused of
“corrupting” the female officers through
personal and sexual relationships and other
bribes and convincing them to join his ring.
The report added that the ring became
increasingly brazen and confident over
time, with White quoted as saying: “You
understand me? This is my jail. I am dead
serious; I make every final call in this jail.”
With the latest development, however,
White has had more charges preferred
against him than the initial attempted
murder that led him into the jailhouse. So
also are other prisoner members of his
gang.
The indictment released during the week
claims that the jailhouse gang ran the
scheme from inside the detention centers
and charged both the gang members and
corrections officers with conspiracy, drug
possession and distribution as well as
money laundering.
A total of 25 people will be facing the
charges.
According to CBS News, two of the women
impregnated by White were found to have
tattooed his name on their bodies. He was
also reported to have showered three of
them with expensive gifts, including cars
and jewelry, using these to secure their
attention.
U.S. Attorney, Rod Rosenstein, was quoted
as saying; “the 25 defendants participated
in running the activities of the Black
Guerilla Family – a prison and street gang –
from behind bars in Baltimore City.
