Guards Get Lie-Detector Tests at Scandal-Plagued Baltimore Jail
Union fears "witch hunt" meaning, "they might be caught"
Sex, drugs and money. The corruption probe at the Baltimore City Detention Center expands.
Adam May explains–starting Sunday night, some officers still on the job are being forced to take lie detector tests.
For the last few years, inmate Tavon White claimed he ran the Baltimore Detention Center–dealing drugs, impregnating guards and making thousands of dollars a month.
Federal investigators say he had help from at least 25 people, including 13 female corrections officers. They face charges of racketeering, money laundering and drug possession and distribution.
