Chuang sentenced Darnell Smith, a/k/a “Hook”, age 41, of Baltimore, Maryland to five years and three months in federal prison, to be served consecutive to Smith’s current state sentence, followed by three years of supervised release, for a racketeering conspiracy at the Jessup Correctional Institution (JCI).
