The plea resulted from an investigation into contraband that has led to the firings or resignation of several other guards. Michael D. Bradish, 34, of Plattsburgh, pleaded guilty Friday in Franklin County Court to attempted promoting prison contraband and attempted drug possession as well as misdemeanor official misconduct. Prosecutors said Bradish was part of a network that delivered heroin mailed from New York City to Bare Hill, a medium-security facility for men. Authorities also charged two other state corrections officers. - --- MAP posted-by: Beth Wehrman
