Rikers Officer Who Offered To Help Inmate Escape Found Guilty

NEW YORK – Getting out of jail shouldn’t be a problem if you’re a drug kingpin.

In one particular case, a correction officer at Rikers Correctional Facility offered to help an inmate break out in exchange for $100,ooo in coke. Last Thursday, the now former CO was found guilty of charges including drug possession, conspiracy and bribery, though.

Former corrections officer Robert Whitfield has been found guilty for participating in that sort of transaction. And it all would have worked out well if the inmate hadn’t turned him in.
