Georgia prisons bust: Authorities seize 1K contraband items, including weapons and meth

The GDC conducted five full-facility shakedowns last week as part of efforts to eliminate “dangerous” contraband from Georgia’s prisons, the department said in a press release on Friday.

Coastal, Central, Dooly, Lee and Valdosta state prisons all underwent the unannounced shakedowns.

I used to find minor stuff all the time, during my late night walk throughs. The lieutenant didn’t even want me to call it in, unless I found weapons or other serious crap. I do seem to remember another CO catching an inmate with a whole ham. And they were always trying to bring in yeast rolls and fruit.

But…

According to the GDC, 647 weapons, 210 cell phones and 241 cell phone chargers were confiscated.

I think they missed 31 more cell phones.
