MOBILE, AL – A Selma man was sentenced to 30 months in prison for bribing a corrections officer while awaiting a federal trial for armed bank robbery. Show
According to court documents, Stanley Young, 34, was an inmate at the Escambia County Detention Center (“ECDC”) in Brewton from January to October 2020. Young was being held at ECDC pending his federal trial for armed bank robbery in the Southern District of Alabama in October 2020. Young was convicted of armed bank robbery and later sentenced to a 17-year prison term for that offense. While incarcerated at ECDC, Young admitted that he bribed a corrections officer at the jail. In exchange for the officer engaging in corrupt actions on his behalf, Young paid the officer more than $5,000 from his CashApp account, including payment of a $4,000 down payment toward the purchase of an Infiniti vehicle at a car dealership in Mobile. At various times, the officer provided Young with prohibited objects while on duty at ECDC, including money, cell phones, and K2 spice paper. In August 2020, the officer admitted to federal agents that she had a personal relationship with Young and had smuggled cell phones and K2 spice paper into ECDC for him. Agents obtained records from Young’s Facebook account, which he accessed using the contraband phones that the officer smuggled into the jail and gave to him. The records included messages detailing Young’s relationship with the officer; photographs of Young in his ECDC inmate uniform holding K2 spice paper; text and voice messages between Young and third parties discussing methods of smuggling K2 spice paper into jails and the prices at which it could be sold to inmates; videos that Young took of other ECDC inmates whom Young described as being “high” on K2 spice paper; and messages between Young and the corrections officer regarding the officer selling marijuana to individuals outside of ECDC on Young’s behalf. U.S. Attorney Sean P. Costello of the Southern District of Alabama made the announcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Justin Roller and Sinan Kalayoglu prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
There are a number of different types of prison sentence available to a court. Read the sections on determinate sentences, extended sentences, and life sentences to find out more. For each crime there are a range of sentences available and the judge or magistrates have to decide which type of sentence is right. When a prisoner is released from prison will depend on the type of sentence. The majority of prison sentences passed in court will include time to be served in prison and time to serve in the community. This means that a prisoner will not spend the whole of their sentence in prison. The exceptions are life and extended sentences which are regulated by different rules. A number of things can affect the length of time someone will spend in prison. This includes the date the offence was committed, the length of the sentence, whether a Home Detention Curfew (HDC) is granted and whether any extra days are added as the consequence of positive adjudications. Sentences under 2 years The rules governing when a prisoner is released vary depending on the length of the sentence and when the offence was committed. For sentences under two years the rules changed on 1 February 2015. For offences committed on or after 1 February 2015, those who are over 18 years who receive a determinate sentence of at least 2 days but less than 2 years will be released on licence half way through their sentence. They will be on licence until the end of their sentence, with an additional period of post-sentence supervision. This is to ensure that all prisoners for sentences under two years are supervised for a period of 12 months. Please see the table below for examples of the changes to sentences depending on when the offence was committed.
Offences committed before 1 February 2015
Offences committed after 1 February 2015
Sentence Time spent in prison Release arrangements Time spent in prison Release arrangements 6 months 3 months 3 months community sentence, no licence conditions or supervision 3 months 3 months licence and 9 months post-sentence supervision. Total supervision of 12 months 12 months 6 months 6 months community sentence, no licence conditions or supervision 6 months 6 months licence and 6 months post-sentence supervision. Total supervision of 12 months 18 months 9 months 9 months’ licence 9 months 9 months licence and 3 months post-sentence supervision. Total supervision of 12 months. Sentences of over 2 yearsPrisoners who are sentenced to two years or more will serve half their sentence in prison and serve the rest of the sentence in the community on licence. While on licence an prisoner will be subject to supervision and the licence will include conditions. If a prisoner breaches their conditions, they may be recalled to prison. Prisoners serving sentences of between three months and four years, with certain exceptions for people convicted with violent and sexual offences, may also be eligible for release on a home detention curfew (HDC). This allows a prisoner to be released up to 135 days (four and a half months) before their automatic release date. The prisoner will be electronically tagged and a curfew imposed. If the prisoner breaches the curfew they can be recalled to prison. Extended sentencesExtended sentences were introduced to replace the previous IPP sentences and are only given to prisoners aged 18 or over who are considered a significant risk to the public. An extended sentence may given to a prisoner aged 18 or over when:
The judge decides how long the prisoner should stay in prison and also fixes the extended licence period up to a maximum of eight years. The prisoner will either be entitled to automatic release at the two thirds point of the custodial sentence or be entitled to apply for parole at that point. If parole is refused the prisoner will be released when their prison term ends. Following release, the person will be subject to the licence where he will remain under the supervision of the National Offender Management Service until the expiry of the extended period. The combined total of the prison term and extension period cannot be more than the maximum sentence for the offence committed. Extended sentences can be quite complex dependent on the specifics of the case, it would be recommended to speak with the prisoner’s solicitor, or to check via the justice website for further details. Life sentencesWhen a court passes a life sentence (sometimes called an indeterminate sentence) it means that the person with a conviction will be subject to that sentence for the rest of their life. A judge must specify the minimum term (sometimes called the tariff) a prisoner must spend in prison before becoming eligible to apply for parole. The only exception to this is when a life sentence is passed with a ‘whole life order’ meaning that such an prisoner will spend the rest of their life in prison. A life sentence always lasts for life whatever the length of the minimum term. Mandatory life sentencesParliament has decided that if a person is found guilty of murder, a court must give them a life sentence. A person may also be given a life sentence for offences such as rape or armed robbery. The judge will set a minimum term (the tariff) an prisoner must serve before they can be considered for release by the Parole Board. The prisoner will only be released once they are no longer deemed to pose a risk to the general public. If released, an person with an conviction serving a life sentence will remain on licence for the rest of their life. They may be recalled to prison at any time if they are considered to be a risk to the public. They do not need to have committed another offence in order to be recalled. Whole life orderFor the most serious cases, a person may be sentenced to a life sentence with a ‘whole life order.’ This means that their crime was so serious that there is no minimum term set and that they will never be released from prison. Discretionary life sentencesThere are a number of crimes for which the maximum sentence for the offence, such as rape or robbery, is life imprisonment. This does not mean that all or most people convicted of those offences will get life.
