As a result of the vigilance of staff members, a package containing contraband and unauthorized items was seized at Beaver Creek Institution, a federal multi-level security institution.
The seized items included 14 grams of tobacco, 50 cigarettes, 395 grams of marijuana, drug paraphernalia, as well as cell phones and accessories.
The Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) uses a number of tools to prevent drugs from entering its institutions. These tools include ion scanners and detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates, and visitors.
CSC has measures in place to prevent contraband and unauthorized items from entering its institutions in order to help ensure a safe and secure environment for everyone. CSC also works in partnership with the police to take action against those who attempt to introduce contraband or unauthorized items into correctional institutions.
