Two ex-employees at the GEO Karnes Correctional Detention Facility, 50-year-old Joseph Padilla and 20-year-old Julian Esquivel, face federal charges for allegedly smuggling drugs and contraband into the prison using their insider access — turning their jobs into a lucrative criminal operation.

Both are scheduled to appear in federal court in San Antonio in September — a stark reminder of the ongoing challenges in securing correctional institutions.
