NEWS RELEASE: Corrections Officer Arrested
Today we arrested Amara Brown (DOB: 01/22/1996), a Jail Guard at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, for Misconduct in Office and Furnishing Contraband to a Prisoner.
Amara Brown knowingly and unlawfully committed misconduct in office, while employed as a guard at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center in Richland County. Post-Miranda Brown admitted on several occasions since March of 2023 she communicated with an inmate outside of work hours through phone calls on his contraband cell phone. On August 8th 2023, Brown stated she ordered food by Door Dash going out of her assigned area to deliver the food to the inmate’s pod. The food was found by guards after a shakedown of the inmate’s cell. Officer Brown failed to report that the inmate was extensively using said phone and that she had frequent contact with the inmate, both in her official duties as a correctional officer and in private life, while still employed as a correctional officer.
Brown will be processed and booked into the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center.
