Two riots took place at the Raymond Detention Center over the weekend. Half a dozen inmates were injured and required hospitalization. Sheriff Victor Mason arrested a jailer for inciting a riot. WLBT reported this afternoon:
A Hinds County Detention Center officer has been arrested and charged with aiding escape.
According to Hinds County Sheriff Victor Mason, deputies were called to the Raymond Detention Center multiple times Friday and over the weekend.
Investigators on scene determined that Officer Brandon Standifer had provided inmates with keys to the housing unit on Saturday.
Inmates were able to unlock cell doors and get into restricted areas of the jail that could have led to the possibility of inmates escaping.
Investigators are working to determine if Standifer had given keys to inmates on more than one occasion.
Standifer is being held at the Raymond Detention Center.
Kingfish note: The word on the street is that a bunch of inmates surrounded the guard and demanded his keys or else they would kill him.

I doubt that Victor Mason has made an arrest in decades.
just in time for re-election!
Smells like . . . Victor Mason.
When you see how much these prison guards are getting paid, it’s almost surprising there aren’t even more issues. That’s got to be the worst job in the state.
What's the difference between the prisoners and the correctional officers?
The uniform.
It would have taken a lot of prisoners to surround 6’4” 400lb Brandon.

That damned sure better be his story anyway.
He was a big guy... for you
9:36... you are a jerk! There are a few bad apples, but most corrections officers take their job very seriously - and for low wages. You better be glad they are willing to do the job!
Ole slick Vic better fire Luke and McCurley...listening to them and not being very bright his self is what has gotten him in this jam. Rumor for the staff is that Victor won’t even go to the jail.
This man has cost us tax payers a lot of money, and crime is worse than ever...he didn’t even give us our moneys worth.
There's alota folks days are coming to a painful end, here less than a month away.
Then, 5 months to find new jobs.
4 yrs ago, they were the cats meow and now, Mason painfully failed then all and absolutely does not care. He failed them all with intimidation tactics, bulling and flat out malicious lies.
It couldn't have happened to a better group of people who are still supporting his sorry, lieing ass.
Hahahahaha I listened to Victor at the meeting the other night. He couldn’t speak to one accomplishment. Instead he said we’ve learned a lot, please give me one more chance. Utterly ridiculous considering he’s not made one thing better. Done nothing but cost us money
