A federal prison inmate originally sentenced to two years for selling the drug ecstasy has been convicted of conspiracy to distribute drugs from inside prison, the U.S. attorney said last Monday. Joshua Kilby of Seattle will be sentenced Feb. 7 in Boise. U.S. Attorney Tom Moss said the extent of the drug trafficking operation will be used to justify an enhanced sentence. Moss did not indicate what the maximum sentence could be. Kilby was originally convicted in August 2002 in federal court in Western Washington for dealing ecstasy and was sentenced to two years at the Sheridan Federal Correctional Facility in Sheridan, Ore. According to Moss, Kilby arranged with an associate to continue his drug business while he was serving his sentence and put the associate in touch with a drug supplier in return for having a share of the profits sent to him in prison. While in prison, Kilby told another inmate from Boise about his drug-selling arrangement and put the inmate in contact with Kilby's contact on the outside. The inmate reported the conversation to a Drug Enforcement Administration agent in Boise, who arranged to buy drugs from Kilby's associate in Seattle. In a recorded conversation between Kilby and his associate at the federal prison, the two men discussed the state of their drug business, Moss said. Prosecutors said that while Kilby was in prison his associate sold at least 2,500 pills of ecstasy and 7,000 pills of another drug called foxy. |
