A prisoner known as 'Tommy Two Times' paid the officer as much as $500 a month, the Office of the Attorney General alleges.
A corrections officer at a New Jersey prison accepted as much as $500 a month in bribes from an inmate to smuggle items such jewelry, cologne, cold cuts and espresso into the prison, authorities said.
Gramajo, a senior corrections officer at Northern State Prison in Newark, smuggled cash and the goods into the prison for Thomas De Vingo, a 64-year-old inmate serving a sentence on a robbery conviction, authorities said. Department of Corrections officials learned of the scheme after a note was found in a high-security area off limits to inmates requesting that food be brought to “Tommy Two Times.” It contained $40 cash, authorities said.
