Mikal Davis, a 48-year-old inmate at Cambria County Prison in Johnstown, PA, was involved in a racketeering scheme from July 2023 to December 2023, bribing correctional officers and medical staff to smuggle Suboxone into the prison. The contraband was then sold to other inmates for a substantial profit. Davis directed the bribe payments and accepted payments of drug proceeds to further facilitate the racketeering activity.
Davis was sentenced to 24 months in prison, to be served consecutively to his previous 180-month sentence for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute heroin, cocaine, fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine base. The sentence was imposed by United States District Judge Stephanie L. Haines.
Davis is among 10 individuals charged with racketeering charges related to the Cambria County Prison, with four defendants pleading guilty to date. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Maureen Sheehan-Balchon.
The investigation and prosecution of this case demonstrate the commitment of law enforcement to combating organized crime and corruption within the prison system. The sentence handed down to Davis serves as a warning to those who would engage in similar activities.
