Kareem Martin, an inmate at USP Allenwood, was indicted by a federal grand jury on June 11, 2026, for allegedly possessing a six-inch, inmate-manufactured knife within the prison.
The 38-year-old Martin faces one count of possessing contraband in prison, according to United States Attorney Brian D. Miller. The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, with Assistant U.S. Attorney Robin Zenzinger prosecuting.
If found guilty, Martin could face a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment and a fine. Federal sentencing statutes and guidelines will be considered by the judge. It is important to note that an indictment represents only an allegation, and all charged individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
