Former Stillwater corrections officer pleads guilty to meth distribution conspiracy
Faith Rose Gratz (Washington County Sheriff's Office)
A former Stillwater corrections officer has pleaded guilty to taking part in a meth distribution organization within the prison.
Faith Rose Gratz, 24, and 34-year-old Axel Rene Kramer conspired to distribute meth within the prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office says. Kramer is an inmate at the prison and is currently serving a 288-month sentence for murder.

As part of the operation, Kramer got wholesale quantities of prepackaged meth from sources outside the prison, then Gratz would pick up the packages and smuggle them into the facility to give them to Kramer, prosecutors say.
Due to her position at the prison, Gratz could also warn Kramer about upcoming searches of inmates’ cells.
Gratz entered her plea Wednesday. Her sentencing hearing hasn’t yet been scheduled.
