ATLANTA — More than 40 prison guards and officers in Georgia have been indicted on charges of accepting bribes and drug trafficking.
The arrests Thursday are the latest in a federal effort to crack down on contraband and criminal activity in Georgia prisons. About 130 people — including prison employees, inmates, former inmates and others accused of helping them — have been indicted since September.
