The organization then allegedly started using a "prison broker” system that included a state prison inmate to facilitate drug deals, according to the indictment.
"To facilitate the distribution of controlled substances, street level dealers often will use incarcerated contacts, known as prison brokers, to broker drug transactions with drug cartels,” according to the indictment. “By nature of their incarcerated status, the prison brokers have easier access to other inmates who are members or direct associates of drug cartels or who are members and associates of criminal street gangs who have direct contacts with the drug cartels."
The street dealers use the prison brokers to get a source of supply, and the prison brokers in turn get a kickback from the dealers for brokering the deal, according to the indictment.
"This prison broker system insulates the (source of supply), and thereby the drug cartels, from the street level dealers,” according to the indictment. “This method makes it more difficult for law enforcement to detect and identify the (source of supply) even during an active investigation of involved street level dealers and prison brokers."
