An inmate promoted selling anabolic steroids inside and outside of prison walls

Ismael Melendez was sentenced to 9 years in prison for weapons’ charge in 2005. This person was an inmate there. Recently Melendez was accused in selling anabolic steroids. This person promoted sales of prohibited drugs inside and even outside the prison in New York. This person faces charges of prison contraband, illegal possession of prohibited medicines and illegal possession of syringes.
It was found out that Richard Finley, Melendez’ substance abuse counselor, had been involved in the criminal activity of Melendez. This man worked more than 10 years for the Cape Vincent prison. Finley helped him to sell anabolic steroids outside the prison. The crime led to his arrest in November 2011. It happened when the substance abuse counselor had caught during selling anabolic steroids to a person in a certain parking lot.
Melendez sent Finley to deliver certainforbidden drugs to a client. The purchase was made in a certain shopping centre.
Of course, a question may appear: Why did Finley begin to promote selling illegal compounds?
The substance abuse counselor admitted why he had agreed to help Melendez . Melendez promised to give him HGH and 1500 dollars. It would have been given as exchange for the help in smuggling alcohol, anabolic steroids and creatine inside the prison. But Finley was caught by the police and accused in possession of illegal drugs and a hypodermic instrument.
The substance abuse counselor made also another great mistake. He brought his little child of 7 years old, when he was involved in the drug deal. That’s why he was also accused in endangering the welfare of a child.
This resulted in a suspension of Finley from his job without any pay. Thus, this man lost the well-paying work. As it is known, Finley got over 52, 000 dollars per year.
The inmate Melendez was transferred to another prison. This prisoner continues to serve his sentence.
