NOTE:

Nothing discussed in today’s podcast has been adjudicated and no investigation is complete so anything reported in this podcast on the subject of Hunts Correctional are allegations made by whistleblowers and no wrong doing has been found as of this recording.It is very important to mention that the VAST majority of the employees at Hunt’s are amazing people and as we say often, there is good and bad in every profession.

In this episode of Bloody Angola, we discuss a major investigation into the severe drug-related issues at Hunt Correctional Center in St. Gabriel Louisiana, revealed through whistleblower accounts and WBRZ News Baton Rouge.

Alarming overdoses among inmates, the role of a privileged inmate in drug trafficking, and high-ranking officers at the facility are all being investigated by the Louisiana State Police at the request of Gov. Jeff Landry and we catch you up on what is being alleged by whistleblowers and what the state is doing about it.
