Contraband: Toilet paper gun

This fake gun made from toilet paper, soap, and ink from a pen was made by an inmate in Kentucky.

The C1 member who submitted this photo wrote, “This was found on a maximum security inmate on the day he was scheduled to go to court for his final sentencing on the chargers of murder and assault.

“While conducting a pat down search of the inmate, an object was felt on the inside of his leg. The object was removed. It appeared to be a handmade gun. The inmate stated that he had made the gun to take to court with him. He had planned to wait for his court hearing to end, then he was going to do a combat roll, pull the gun out, and hope that the sheriff’s would shoot him.”
