can I sue my job for defamation of character and breach of confidentiality?
I work at a state jail were I was accused of bringing in prison contraband to an inmate. I was served a letter stating what I was being accused of, and also stated that the investigation was to remain confidential. Over the next 2 months, staff, inmates, and the public knew not only what I was under investigation for, but also the findings in the investigation. I have also been associated with a prison gang, my car was keyed, and my family threatened. All of this has been done to me withing the last 2 months leading me to believe that the facility that I work is leaking confidential information to everyone. This is causing a ridiculous amount of rumors which jeopardize my integrity at work. Do I have a case and do I have a chance to win?
You need to get a lawyer and see what options are available to you in this situation. If they did breach confidentiality, it is wrong and if you have been unjustly targeted due to this breach…..then they need to be held accountable.
Yet, I do have a question…….were you bringing contraband to the inmates? Make sure you are innocent before you start throwing stones.

You work at a prison and you’re accused of smuggling contraband to an inmate and having associations with a prison gang. Those are strong allegations for someone working in the prison system. I hope you’re innocent of these charges, then get a lawyer who can help you. Unfortunately, once the rumor mill gets started, there’s no telling where it will end. Sounds like you wouldn’t want to work there after what’s already happened to you there. No matter what the outcome of this "investigation", your integrity has already been compromised.
What worries me a bit is the threats against your family. That sounds like something thugs would do. Could it be that someone just wants you out of that job? No job is worth your family’s safety. Get that taken care of immediately.

Anyone can attempt to sue anyone else for anything. Your considerations must be "Will my case be dismissed"? Do I have sufficient evidence to support my allegations to convince a jury"? "Is it worth the time, effort, aggravation (future consequences) and money to pursue"? Once you have answered these questions in your mind, you’ll have your answer of whether to go forward. So, (1) of course you can sue and (2) an attorney can tell you if you have a case to win based on what he/she can prove or at least convince the jury of in court.

As a former corrections officer and sargeant, I understand what you are saying. It happened all the time where I worked also. However, when I stopped being an officer and began working in administration, I saw the light about the prison grapevine. I came to realize that it was not the bosses that were spreading the rumors or letting go with confidential information on purpose. Inmates worked in administration as cleaners and repair people. They would overhear snippets of conversation about a concern over an officer…especially once paperwork had begun…and those snippits became information that they joyfully spread to other inmates, who then in turn spread to staff. Most of the time, the information was only partially true…but believe me, the inmate population has ears everywhere. It amazed me every day. I noticed that in the course of a day, the warden or another higher up could be standing in the door of the office and discussion such issues quietly, not even realizing that an inmate was within earshot. When they are around all the time, you do forget that they are there. You cease to notice them. Do also keep in mind, that inmates like nothing better than spreading rumors about officers to other officers. If the smallest piece of the puzzle fits, they will enlarge it to the point where it becomes a major incident.
The inmate overhears a confidential conversation and passes it to another. That inmate then makes buddy buddy with another staff person and spreads it. Gossip is the fastest spreading thing on earth in my opinion. Once even one officer has gotten the word about what was an innocent thing to begin with, he goes to the bar that night and tells his buddies…and on and on.
Breaking confidentiality is a huge issue and most higher ups would not endanger themselves or their facility by deliberately breaking it. I doubt if you would have much of a case unless it could have been shown that they were actually overheard by a reputable source disclosing details of the situation to someone who was not supposed to know about it.
If you are being accused of bringing in contraband, that is a serious allegation as you know. But think about where the suspicion may have come from in the first place. Did you tick off an inmate that thought he could get on the good side of another officer by making this accusation? I saw that happen on more than one occasion.
I wish you luck.
