POLKTON, N.C. (AP) A kitchen worker at a North Carolina prison was charged Sunday with helping a convicted murderer escape as the search for the inmate continued.
Kendra Lynette Miller, 33, faces multiple charges connected to Saturday's escape by Kristopher McNeil, the state Department of Public Safety said in a statement. McNeil, 29, of Winston-Salem, North Carolina, was serving a sentence for second-degree murder.
Prison officials say McNeil is believed to have scaled the fence at the minimum-security unit of Brown Creek Correctional Institution, about 45 miles east of Charlotte. He was convicted in 2009 and was scheduled for release in 2018.
Polkton police charged Miller with harboring a fugitive and aiding and abetting a fugitive. She's also charged with having sex with an inmate and providing a cellphone. An Anson County Jail official said she did not have a lawyer. Her bond was set at $500,000, prison officials said.

If they have axis to people some inmates are going to try and manipulate them, and a few are very very good as we have seen in the news these last few weeks.
Sad we are blaming the victims.

(764 posts)Negative consequences don't matter much in criminal behavior because the part of the brain that often decides on a criminal action is based on a possible physical reward. That's not the same side of the brain that deals with abstract "what ifs".
I opine that we restructure our jail and prison systems so killer inmates get 0 access to untrained/unscreened employees. But alas we worship the saved tax dollars so its probably going to keep happening and scammers are gonna keep scamming.
