HOUSTON (AP) — A former prison major has pleaded guilty to felony tampering for planting screwdrivers in an inmate's cell at a Texas prison that was investigated by the state following allegations that a captain required employees to hit a daily quota of disciplinary write-ups.
Juan Jackson entered a plea this week that handed him four years of probation. Jackson is also required to pay a $1,500 fine, abide by curfew rules and perform 120 hours of community service. He won't face time behind bars and his records will be expunged, as long as he doesn't violate his probation, the Houston Chronicle reported.
Prison officials and Jackson's attorney didn't respond to the newspaper's request for comment Tuesday.
