Matthew Matagrano was
sentenced Thursday. The 36-year-old Yonkers resident pleaded guilty last
month to posing as a correction officer and sneaking into the Manhattan
Detention Center, where he mingled with inmates for hours.
NEW YORK (AP) — A convicted sex offender who repeatedly used phony
correction department credentials to gain entry into New York City jails
has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.
During a Feb. 27 visit Matagrano assaulted an inmate and stole a $2,500 walkie-talkie. He also handed out cigarettes to inmates.
Matagrano's
rap sheet includes a conviction for sodomy and sexual abuse. Police
statements released in court report Matagrano said he repeatedly sneaked
into jails because the people inside were "nice" and made him "feel
important."
