Spangler singled out the men, who supervised a long-standing program that dispatched inmates to help in the community, for questionable handling of petty cash collected through the sales of pallets and scrap metal and for using inmates on personal projects, including sometimes bringing them to their own homes to do work.
According to an internal investigation, Moore also developed relationships with several inmates that resulted in him giving out his contact information to the inmates; once the inmates were no longer incarcerated, he started financial relationships with them.
The internal affairs investigation looked at the conduct of Moore and Harmon as well as Larry Hurst, who worked under them and also was fired.
