Lansing prison employee sentenced for smuggling meth in girdle

Lansing Correctional Facility 2A 60-year-old Kansas woman was sentenced to just over a year in prison for smuggling methamphetamine into the Lansing Correctional Facility in June of 2014. Leavenworth County Attorney Todd Thompson says Jacqueline Doty was also ordered to serve three years of post-release supervision once she’s released from prison.

In a news release, Thompson said Ms Doty was an employee of the prison at the time, and officers there conducted a targeted search. Thompson says they discovered three large packages in a girdle-type undergarment wrapped around Doty’s midsection. The seized packages contained a large amount of meth, synthetic cannabis and marijuana, according to the news release.

Doty faced a possible 98-month prison sentence. The state recommended that she serve that sentence, but Leavenworth County District Judge Gunnar Sundby granted a durational departure, and the woman’s sentence was reduced to 13 months plus post-release supervision.
