Contraband has once again been found at the Maximum Security Prison following an intelligence-led search exercise that uncovered cellular phones, improvised weapons and a quantity of suspected marijuana.
The operation took place between 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 8, targeting cells across four divisions. Officers confiscated six cell phones, charging devices, USB cables, seven improvised weapons, a switchblade, a pocket scale and more than 86 grams of plant-like material resembling marijuana. Cash and cigarettes were also found.
Investigations are ongoing, and charges are expected to be laid.
Acting Commissioner of Prisons Elvin Scanterbury commended officers for their work, while expressing concern about the presence of weapons and other contraband within correctional facilities.
