ALBANY, Ga. — Looking for new ways to combat prison contraband and deal with gangs, Atlanta prison agencies have met to exchange ideas and information.
WTVM reports that there has been an increase in gang activity, which is becoming more sophisticated. The gangs are sharing ideas among each other and around the state.
The gangs are a major cause of dangerous contraband inside facilities, and even strip searches are often not enough.
One major step the facilities are taking is to upgrade their surveillance cameras, and have other security upgrades in the works.
