I spent much of the last month taking depositions of inmates at various state correctional facilities, including the one at Wabash Valley, so this story about a woman accused of attempting to traffic a cell phone caught my eye.
Prison officials said Elainey Michele Reynolds, 22, of Marion failed to clear a metal detector at the maximum-security facility shortly after 9:30 a.m. Monday. Visitor processing custody staff became suspicious after Reynolds indicated that a body piercing was the cause. She then went to the restroom to remove the piercing. After claiming she threw the metal piercing away, the restroom was searched and a cell phone was found in a trash can, authorities said.
Just as an aside, even though working at these places has to be challenging and grim, I have to say that my experience with most of the employees who helped us get in and out and arrange the depositions were almost all pleasant, polite, and professional.
