Alleged Contraband Smuggling and Misconduct: Recent Arrests at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center

Nurse Jakiera Day, employed by an outside agency and contracted by the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, was arrested for possession with intent to distribute marijuana and two counts of contraband after attempting to bring packages into the jail. The arrest follows a series of deficiencies highlighted by a recent inspection report, with the South Carolina Department of Corrections threatening to close the facility if violations are not corrected within 90 days.
