C.O. John Patrick Worley is a prison guard and the killer of Aryan Brotherhood gangster Billy Tremmel. Worley was afraid the gang would target his family once Tremmel was released, as they already waged a campaign against the Worleys as far as framing Worley's son Sean for drugs.
Worley was released after the trial resulted in a hung jury. Afterwards, his wife disappeared under suspicious circumstances. (L&O: "The Brotherhood")
