Shaquill Morris, Possession of a Weapon, Pennsylvania 2024

SCRANTON – A brazen act of defiance behind bars has landed a FCI Schuylkill inmate in the slammer for two years.

Shaquill Morris, a 34-year-old federal inmate, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Joseph F. Saporito, Jr. to 24 months’ incarceration for being a federal inmate in possession of a weapon.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Morris was an inmate housed at the Federal Correctional Institution at Schuylkill on July 26, 2024, when a corrections officer noticed that he was using a cellphone. Upon search of Morris, he was also discovered to be in possession of two shanks.

Morris’s sentence was run consecutively to a 216 month sentence he previously received in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Special Investigative Services of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Assistant U.S. Attorney Todd K. Hinkley prosecuted the case.

As a result of this sentence, Morris will spend the next two years behind bars, adding to his existing 216 month sentence.

The Grimy Times will continue to monitor this case and provide updates as more information becomes available.
