( CNN ) -- A large group of Baltimore corrections officers and members of a notorious prison gang have been working together to peddle drugs , phones and sex inside the city 's jail , prosecutors say . But an indictment released this week is another shot , prosecutors say , in putting an end to it . An indictment , announcing charges on 14 more Baltimore corrections officers , reads like script from the now defunct HBO crime drama `` The Wire . '' But the U.S. Attorney 's Office for Maryland says this drama involving prison gang , the Black Guerrilla Family , and a growing number of Baltimore jail guards has gone on for too long . `` Correctional officers were in bed with BGF inmates , '' said U.S. Attorney Rod Rosenstein . Rosenstein seemed to mean that literally and figuratively , court documents show . According to one indictment , alleged gang member Tavon White had a sexual relationship with four jail guards while he was incarcerated . He impregnated all four of them and they all helped him smuggle items in prison , according to the indictment . One of the guards had `` Tavon '' tattooed on her wrist , the indictment said . In January , White summed up his standing in the prison while talking on a cell phone that had been smuggled in , the indictment says . `` This is my jail . You understand that ? I 'm dead serious ... I make every final call in this jail ... and nothing go past me ... Any of my brothers that deal with anybody , it 's gon na come to me . Before ( somebody ) stab somebody , they got ta run it through me , '' White said according to the indictment . Correctional officers were allegedly `` bribed '' to smuggle in drugs , cell phones and other prohibited objects , which they hid underneath their clothes , `` inside body cavities , '' even in sandwiches . New Orleans jail video shows drugs , guns , filth . Some inmates who were n't part of the gang had to pay protection money -- or more accurately , their relatives on the outside did -- authorities claim . `` Court documents allege the BGF members recruited correctional officers through personal and often sexual relationships , as well as bribes , and that some officers traded sex for money , '' the U.S. Attorney 's office said in its news release . The end result was what Rosenstein 's office called a `` criminal organization '' operating inside jails `` enabling ( participants ) to make large amounts of money through drug trafficking , robbery , assault , extortion , bribery , witness retaliation , money laundering and obstruction of justice . '' The investigation first came to light in April with the announcement of the first round of arrests . In all , 44 people have been indicted on federal charges . Twenty seven of them are Baltimore correctional officers , CNN affiliate WJZ reported . Is in-jail night club inmate 's latest perk ? CNN 's Dave Stewart contributed to this report .
In all , 27 Baltimore correctional officers have been charged in the scheme . They face drug possession and distribution charges . In once case , a guard had a prisoner 's name tattooed on her wrist , indictment says . Comment:
