KKK Members Working As Florida Corrections Officers Planned to Kill African American Inmate

Three Florida Ku Klux Klan members are behind bars today for plotting to kill an African-American inmate.

What makes the story more complicated is that the three men were corrections officers. According to the NY Daily News, the three men are apart of the Traditional American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan .

Thomas Jordan Driver, David Elliott Moran, and Charles Thomas Newcomb planned to kill the African-American inmate on his release date because the inmate had gotten into a verbal altercation with Driver. Driver and Moran had been working at the Corrections Facility for years while Newcomb was a former prison employee. Newcomb is being held on $750,000 bond.
