Francisco Uresti, Possession of Contraband, Pennsylvania 2023
ERIE, Pa. - A recent investigation led to the sentencing of a federal inmate at the McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Bradford, Pennsylvania. Francisco Uresti, 43, pleaded guilty to possession of contraband in prison, a conviction that earned him two months in jail.
According to information presented to the court, Uresti was in possession of contraband, specifically a quantity of marijuana, on August 31, 2017, while an inmate at the McKean Federal Correctional Institution. This incident led to a thorough investigation, which ultimately resulted in Uresti's guilty plea and subsequent sentencing.
United States District Judge David S. Cercone imposed the sentence on Uresti, ordering it to run consecutively to the sentence he is currently serving. This additional time in prison serves as a reminder of the consequences of engaging in illicit activities within correctional facilities.
Assistant United States Attorney Christian A. Trabold prosecuted this case on behalf of the government, ensuring that Uresti faced the full extent of the law for his actions. United States Attorney Scott W. Brady commended the officers of the McKean Federal Correctional Institution for their dedication and hard work in investigating and prosecuting this case, ultimately leading to a successful outcome.
The possession of contraband in prison is a serious offense that undermines the integrity of our correctional system. It is essential that those who engage in such activities are held accountable for their actions and face the consequences.
As a result of his conviction, Uresti will serve an additional two months in prison, a sentence that should serve as a deterrent to others who may consider engaging in similar activities.
The McKean Federal Correctional Institution and the United States Attorney's Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania have demonstrated their commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment within correctional facilities. This sentencing serves as a testament to their efforts and dedication to upholding the law.
