Arkansas Correctional Officers Plea Guilty | Little Rock News

Two former Arkansas correctional officers, Robert Cochran and Tejuana Dillard, are behind bars for smuggling contraband and accepting bribes at a federal prison. Caught on camera delivering bags of tobacco, sunglasses, and drugs — and later admitting they were paid cash — both admitted to profiting from the system they were meant to protect. Dillard, who worked there over a decade, took nearly $100,000 to bring in cigarettes sold to inmates. Charged with bribery and false statements, they both pleaded guilty and received 30-month sentences. Their case underscores how corruption within corrections endangers everyone — staff, inmates, and the public’s trust.
