An Aramark Correctional Services worker is accused of trying to smuggle bags of marijuana into a state prison in Jackson in what is the latest in a series of problems since the administration of Gov. Rick Snyder opted to eliminate 370 state jobs and pay a contractor to provide prison meals, starting last December.
