New Orleans, LA – In a stunning turn of events, former Postal Service employee Jorry Harrison, 38, from Houma, Louisiana, has been sentenced to probation for his despicable act of mail destruction. The United States Attorney Michael M. Simpson announced on July 31, 2025, that Harrison was handed one year of probation after pleading guilty to the charge of destruction of mail, as outlined in Title 18, Section 1703(a) of the United States Code.
Harrison’s treacherous actions came to light when he was caught opening packages intended for conveyance by mail while on duty at a Small Parcel and Bundle Sorter. According to court documents, these illegal activities occurred on October 25, 2023. His betrayal of trust as a postal worker has shocked the community and his employer, the United States Postal Service.
The investigation into Harrison’s crimes was spearheaded by the USPS Office of Inspector General. Assistant United States Attorneys Christine Calogero and Duane A. Evans of the General Crimes Unit are responsible for the prosecution in this case.
Harrison’s sentence sends a clear message about the consequences of tampering with the mail system, which is crucial to the functioning of our society. His sentence serves as a stark reminder that postal workers are entrusted with sensitive information and must adhere to strict regulations to protect the integrity of the service.
This case underscores the importance of maintaining the sanctity of the mail for all citizens. It also highlights the USPS’s commitment to ensuring that its employees act with integrity and uphold the laws designed to protect the public trust.
As the justice system has once again proven, those who abuse their positions for personal gain will be held accountable for their actions. Jorry Harrison’s sentence serves as a warning to others not to take advantage of their roles within the postal service or any other government entity that handles sensitive mail.
