Add Detroit to the list of known jailhouse informant scandals. This story–Ring of Snitches: How Detroit Police Slapped False Murder Convictions on Young Black Men–details how during the 1990s, numerous informants obtained “lenient sentences as well as food, drugs, sex and special privileges from detectives in the Detroit Police Department’s homicide division in return for making statements against dozens of prisoners eventually convicted of murder.” The story is eerily reminiscent of the Los Angeles debacle, as well the ongoing scandal in Orange County.
