Back in 1994, Danny Angel Rodriguez pistol-whipped a federal judge in his Coral Gables driveway and stole his Rolex watch. Then the full weight of the American justice system came crashing down on him for mugging U.S. District Judge Shelby Highsmith.

After spending 22 years in prison for that crime and associated firearm convictions, he was released in 2016, but apparently without learning his lesson about messing with the feds.

Rodriguez, 46, is now accused of masterminding a clever scheme to smuggle synthetic pot — into federal prisons. Rodriguez, investigators say, soaked legal papers in a liquid form of cannabis that inmates could swallow to get high. They say he used the names of actual South Florida criminal defense attorneys on the paperwork and mailings to make the pot-soaked shipments look legitimate.

His defense lawyers, Ramon Hernandez and Ana Davide, issued a statement regarding the drug distribution and money-laundering charges that could send Rodriguez to prison for the rest of his life.

A gamer friend of mine is a guard (PC term is Corrections
Officer) in our state's 'Correction Facility' in
Raleigh.

He told me a similar story several years ago, about
a drug sniffer dog alerting on incoming mail and the
mail handlers didn't know why, until they had the mail
tested. It did not have drugs in it, but had been
handled by someone who'd also been handling drugs.

Well treat them like criminals and this would not be a problem.

They should get:

No Vistors
No Mail

They are criminals so treat them like criminals should be treated.
