The Jailer Is Jailed: East Brunswick Man Gets 21 Months

The former deputy director of the Hudson County Correctional Facility was sentenced to 21 months in prison on Thursday for illegally wiretapping his co-workers and another individual.

Kirk Eady, 47, of East Brunswick, was previously found guilty of one count of intentionally intercepting the wire, oral or electronic communications of others.

According to court documents and statements:

From March 8, 2012, to July 8, 2012, while working as the deputy director of the Hudson County Correctional Facility, Eady used the services of a website on more than 10 occasions to intercept the telephone calls of other Hudson County Correctional Facility employees and another individual who were critical of his work performance.

Concealing the telephone number from which the call originated, Eady then called two of the employees at the same time and made it appear that one or both of the other individuals initiated the call.

Eady also recorded the telephone conversations without the employees’ permission.

In addition to the prison term, a federal judge sentenced Eady to three years of supervised release.
