Four Florida inmates at the Glades Correctional Institution were charged with smuggling a loaded pistol and other contraband into a state prison yesterday, according to reports.

The four inmates -- Blas Duran, 34; Angel Rodriguez, 39; William Ortiz-Ponce, 36; and Antone Jones, 39 – have each been relocated to other state prisons. Each has been charged with introduction of contraband into a state correctional institution, a second-degree felony. If convicted as charged, each inmate could face an additional 15 years to his sentence.

Agents allege the inmates brought the weapon into the prison in an attempt to obtain gain time, which would be used to reduce their original sentences. The idea was to tell officers they had found the gun and turn it in and gain points from the prison system. The inmates were also accused of using cell phones illegally.
