A supervisor at a South Carolina prison has been indicted on multiple charges after accepting over $219,000 in bribes and providing inmates with contraband cellphones. Christine Mary Livingston, who worked for the South Carolina Department of Corrections for 16 years and was promoted to captain at Broad River Correctional Institution in 2016, faces charges including bribery, conspiracy, wire fraud, and money laundering.
Livingston collaborated with an inmate named Jerell Reaves to accept bribes for cellphones and other contraband items. They used the Cash App money transfer program to receive payments ranging from $1,000 to $7,000 for each phone. Reaves, also known as Hell Rell, is currently serving a 15-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter.
