A former teacher at the Federal Corrections Institution (FCI) Gilmer has admitted to smuggling methamphetamine and other contraband into the prison for an inmate. Jordyn Peters, 29, of Burnsville, West Virginia, pleaded guilty to providing a prohibited object in prison—methamphetamine.
According to court documents, Peters delivered methamphetamine to an inmate over a three-month period in 2024 while employed at FCI Gilmer. In exchange for these deliveries, Peters received $4,000.
Peters faces up to 20 years in federal prison. Sentencing will be determined by a federal district court judge after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
