A firearm may have been smuggled into the Brooklyn federal jail complex that houses a number of high-profile criminals.
Officers have been scouring the troubled lockup for the gun for nearly a week, but it has yet to turn up, the federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed Monday.
“The BOP immediately placed the facility on modified operations status in order to protect the public, staff, and inmates until a comprehensive search could be completed,” agency spokesperson Scott Taylor said in a statement. The search was ongoing as of Monday afternoon. The jail has seen a number of troubling incidents in recent years, including the heat in the facility failing for days in 2019 because of a partial power outage, leaving more than 1,000 inmates locked in freezing cells.

The inmate, Jamel Floyd, 35, had allegedly smashed his cell window before he was confronted by the jail guards.
