A Baldwin County jury found three former correctional officers guilty Wednesday in a trial that exposed a scheme to smuggle drugs and cellphones into a privately operated state prison.
Natashia Seals, Tierra Harrison and Shanell Brown, who all worked at Riverbend Correctional Facility in Milledgeville, were found guilty of trading with inmates, making a false statement and violation of oath by a public officer. The jury issued a split verdict and found the three women not guilty of three other charges: trafficking meth, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute and crossing the guard lines with drugs.
