Interesting how they left out that this correctional officer actually was the union steward AND was caught with fentanyl also but somehow that wasnt mentioned. “Shocker” As for the five inmates that overdosed at MCI Norfolk on fentanyl in the past year? No mention of that either. Place is a joke. Maybe they should focus a little more on the employees they hire vs visiting room protocol lol
