Prison of Texas escapee has high rate of phone smuggling Houston & Texas News Chron.com - Houston Chronicle: "The Beaumont prison from which an inmate escaped with the help of a cellphone earlier this month has one of Texas' worst track records for prison personnel bringing cellphones into the facility.
That's according to a Texas Watchdog analysis of prison system data procured by WOAI-Channel 4 in San Antonio.
Stiles Unit, the maximum-security facility from which David Puckett, 27, escaped and made his way to Nebraska, had the third-highest number of incidents in which Texas Department of Criminal Justice workers were accused of bringing or allowing cellphones, phone components or accessories into prison confines between 2006 and mid-2010, the data show. It had 42 such cases.
With nearly 3,000 inmates and 800 employees, Stiles tied with Neal Unit, another maximum-security prison near Amarillo, for the highest number of overall reported cellphone-related disciplinary infractions for state staff, with 46, the database shows. TDCJ oversees 113 adult prison and state jail facilities."
