South Carolina inmates and their accomplices used bread deliveries, a prison dairy and inmate work crews at the State House to smuggle drugs, cigarettes, cell phones and other items into state prisons, according to recently announced indictments.\ Seventeen people were charged in what the attorney general’s office described in Friday’s indictments as “sophisticated and highly lucrative conspiracies” to smuggle large amounts of contraband into state prisons. Authorities said an inmate known as “Christ” oversaw the network that relied on people inside and outside prison walls. A prison dairy farm at the Wateree Correctional Institution in Sumter County was a key location in the scheme, authorities said. The farm provides milk to the institutions within all of the prison system.
