Murder was the case, but that didn’t stop two inmates from trying to get a little something poppin’ at the Atlanta Fulton County jail, reports AJC.com.
When convicted cop killer Norris Speed saw accused killer Jasmine Jones in the medical wing of the jail, he thought he’d use the well-known faulty locks in the Atlanta jail to arrange a hookup. Jones was willing if nervous, Speed admitted in the official police report. Jones, who has apparently been in the jail since October of 2011 without a trial on murder and robbery charges, was missing from her cell and the shower she was supposed to be taking when Sherrif’s Deputy Michael Watts took notice and when looking for the inmate.
he stated that inmate Speed popped opened the side door and told her to come into his cell. Inmate Jones then stated that she was tempted and let the lust get the best of her so she willingly entered inmate Speed’s cell although she was extremely nervous,” Watts wrote.
Speed, who was convicted of killing Police Officer Niles Johangten in 1991, had jimmied the lock on his cell to make a phone call when he spotted Jones. He says Watts prevented anything from going down, but Jones admitted to consensual says the report. Speed has been in the jail since 2011, awaiting hearings on his capital murder case.
Faulty locks in the troubled jail are a known problem as inmates often jam or jimmie the locks and roam freely around the facility. The jail also has problems with housing inmates too long who are awaiting court dates. The city jail does not have facilities in place that a prison would.
$5 million dollars has already been budgeted to fix the locks, which would then signal when they are working properly. The work is expected to be completed in July.
