Gang Leader Who Impregnated Four Officers While In Jail Gets 12 Years

A Jailhouse Soap Opera

From the video:

Tavon White was sentenced to 12 years in prison – significantly less than the maximum 20 years he faced – after prosecutors told the judge he quelled violence by instituting a no-stabbing policy among gang members and then took a substantial risk by testifying against others in the ring.

White, a commander of the Black Guerilla Family, oversaw a contraband smuggling operation inside the Baltimore City Detention Center that grabbed headlines and resulted in a sweeping indictment of 44 people, including 27 corrections officers. Thirty-five of those charged pleaded guilty, including White; eight maintained their innocence and went to trial.

A federal jury last week convicted five people, including two corrections officers, two inmates and a kitchen worker of racketeering.
