OFF THE WIRE
by Jack Ryan
Everybody knows that sex sells, but now we know that it even sells in prison.
A Federal Detention Center in downtown Miami has reportedly been overrun by strippers pretending to be paralegals in order to secretly "perform" for rich, locked-up drug lords.
Attorneys and legal assistants have access to prisoners at the Miami prison, so several imprisoned drug lords got the clever idea to hire attorneys who are willing to list strippers as their legal assistants. They then get contraband without anyone knowing a thing.
"They take off their tops and let the guys touch them," veteran defense attorney Hugo Rodriguez revealed, according to Yahoo News."The majority of these young, very attractive women are noncitizens brought in exclusively for the purposes of visiting the FDC. Any lawyer can sign a form and designate a legal assistant. There is no way of verifying it. The process is being abused."
One of the strippers was busted on police video stripping for an inmate inside the prison's Special Housing Unit. Other strippers were also caught smuggling items like Playboy, alcohol and money to the prisoners.
