With Father’s Day right around the corner, you may notice an influx of cards coming through your facility. That can serve as a potential hazard as contraband can enter your prison this way.
Suboxone, a drug used as a treatment for opiate addiction can sometimes be found hidden in otherwise innocent-looking mail.
Corrections1 posted a recent article that said “innovative smugglers have turned crushed Suboxone pills into a paste and spread it under stamps or over children’s artwork, including pages from a princess coloring book found in a New Jersey jail.”
This particular contraband sent in by a Corrections1 member was found during a mail search at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center in Albuquerque, N.M. The clear plastic pouch was full of ground suboxone sealed in between the flaps of a homemade card.
