PALMER — A former corrections officer and the inmate she smuggled contraband for were sentenced in a Palmer courtroom Wednesday.

Alaska State Troopers in 2014 arrested Stephanie Cravens, 26, on charges of smuggling drugs and a cell phone into Palmer Correctional Center inmate Michael Freeman, 32, according to Frontiersman articles at the time. Authorities originally charged Cravens with one count each of receiving a bribe, first-degree and second-degree promoting contraband, and official misconduct. Freeman had originally faced charges of bribery and promoting contraband. Both eventually pleaded guilty in December 2015 to a single count of first-degree promoting contraband.

Presiding judge Eric Smith sentenced Freeman to five years in prison with one year, six months suspended time and five years of probation. Cravens — who had no prior criminal record in Alaska — received a two-year suspended sentence with two years’ probation.
