That’s a very good question, as we have to be careful as to where we are getting any information nowadays as it seems everyone especially commercialized outlets seem to all have an angle or agenda. This is nothing new I mean remember when we were kids Lucy and Ricky didn’t even sleep in the same bed on TV and well fast forward to Greys Anatomy and you would get the implication that everyone in the medical field is sleeping with each other and never use beds where there is a broom closet, patients room, etc. Ok now that I got that out of my system, Are drugs easier to get in prison? The answer would be no, the whole process of obtaining drugs is a bit complicated even on the street yet due to the open land the ability to move around with no or very few obstacles, and the abundance of drugs, with the number of people involved in selling and buying drugs, is so large on the street that it may take a little work but always obtainable streetwise. Now in prison, there are only a few ways to get drugs into a facility in any type amount to satisfy sales and or any type of distribution. Granted there is a level of very small amounts slipping by for a little personnel thing here and there. To make drugs available for sale in prison it would usually involve some type of employee involvement to get drugs of any amount to sell, and yes it does happen yet not as you may see on TV. Granted most guards in the prison system start at about 23,000 a year (yes very low less than 15.00 an hour) so it looks very appealing to possibly smuggle some type of contraband into the prison yet that’s where it gets very complicated as remember they are criminals in there and well greed is a big factor which causes major drama and it usually always blows up. So don’t get me wrong you can find drugs within the prison yet it is never like what you are led to believe on TV or even the news. On another subject is cell phones have really become a problem in a lot of prisons and again the way they are getting into the prison would be 95% of the time either by a volunteer or a guard. The last time I was in the circle volunteering in a prison I was told the going rate was 600.00 to 1000.00 one would be paid to smuggle a phone into the prison. So I hope I have answered your question with not to many words yet I am Irish, Love ya Deb.
