NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA — A grim revelation in the mailroom: Jorry Harrison (‘HARRISON’), 38, of Houma, Louisiana, has been sentenced to one year of probation for his despicable act of destroying U.S. mail. The sentence was announced by Acting United States Attorney Michael M. Simpson on July 31, 2025.
Harrison, who previously pleaded guilty to destruction of mail under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1703(a), admitted to unlawfully opening packages while working as a Postal Service employee. The incident occurred on or about October 25, 2023, and has sparked an investigation by the United States Postal Service, Office of the Inspector General.
According to court documents, Harrison’s actions were brazen; he exploited his position to tamper with packages meant for mail delivery, a violation of public trust. The thorough investigation was conducted by federal agents, ensuring justice would be served.
The prosecution of this case was led by Assistant United States Attorneys Christine Calogero and Duane A. Evans of the General Crimes Unit. Their unwavering commitment to justice has resulted in a sentence that sends a clear message about the seriousness of postal violations.
As the community grapples with the reality of mailroom corruption, the sentencing of Harrison serves as a stark reminder of the importance of integrity within public service positions. His actions have not gone unnoticed, and his punishment reflects the severity of his crime.
This case is a testament to the USPS’s dedication to upholding the laws that protect the integrity of the mail system. The sentencing of Harrison is a victory for justice in Louisiana.
