That ladies and gentlemen, is how the drugs and cell phones are getting into the prison, this is not rocket science to figure that out. All officers should be made to go through metal detectors for phones and pass by sniffer dogs for drugs and if any contraband is found on prisoners or cells they are responsible for then they should also be held responsible for it being found !
