## Resource

Elayn Hunt Correctional Center is in the spotlight after 14 staff arrests this year—mostly female employees—accused of everything from inappropriate inmate contact to serious misconduct like sexual relationships. Major Francis Smith was arrested in March for alleged malfeasance tied to an inmate’s twins, with investigations dating back to 2025. Warden Travis Day, who took over this year, has enforced a zero-tolerance policy, partnering with law enforcement to crack down. But challenges persist: another officer was arrested for smuggling drug-soaked paper and carrying a loaded gun. The Department of Corrections warns drug-soaked paper is especially hard to intercept, and trouble isn’t limited to staff—two visitors were also arrested for bringing in marijuana, showing the problem spans all access points.
