Officials say a federal prison guard in Florida has been accused of participating in a scheme to smuggle drugs into a facility.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After a federal appeals court denied Corrine Brown's request to remain out of prison during her appeal this week, a source told the I-TEAM that Brown has been assigned to a Sumter County women's prison camp and will likely report Monday. The source said the 71-year-old former Democratic congresswoman has been assigned to a minimum-security prison camp for women that is adjacent to the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex, a medium-security federal prison for men. The prison camp is about a 2½-hour drive from Jacksonville. For some women, Alice said, the process takes two months.
