In recent years, documentaries detailing the cults activities have become popular and even I must admit that I have been sucked into a few of them.

According to court documents, 38-year-old Janise Clark was apprehended on Sunday while reporting for her shift as a correctional officer. A fellow staff member noticed her plastic-wrapped sandwich looked suspicious, prompting further inspection. When the sandwich was placed in an X-Ray machine, it revealed two vacuum-sealed plastic bags containing nearly a half pound of marijuana hidden between the slices of bread.
