As Rowlette allegedly told his wife, inmates in his cell pod were strung out on “real deal drugs.” One inmate, Mark, spent $2,000 each week on illegal contraband, he said. A pack of cigarettes cost as much as $150 and a half pint of vodka cost $40, according to the affidavit. A pouch of tobacco sold for $100, and a gram of methamphetamine cost $300.
