New York Jail Embarrassed After Undercover Investigator Smuggles In Heroin, Pills, Weed, Vodka, And Blade


This photo captures the contraband smuggled into the six jail facilities on Rikers Island by the undercover DOI investigator. The contraband consisted of a plastic bag containing 250 glassine envelopes of heroin, one plastic bag containing 24 packaged strips of suboxone, two plastic bags containing a total weight of one half‐pound of marijuana, one 16‐ounce water bottle containing vodka (the contents of the bottle of vodka displayed was smuggled in, not the liquor bottle) , and one razor blade.

As detailed by the city:

DOI investigators spent hundreds of hours reviewing security videos, conducting site visits, and performing
undercover integrity tests. As part of those integrity tests, a DOI undercover investigator posing as a Correction Officer smuggled in a razor blade and large quantities of heroin, marijuana, and prescription narcotics at six facilities on Rikers Island. Specifically, the DOI undercover investigator carried in on his person:

 one plastic bag containing 250 glassine envelopes of heroin,

 one plastic bag containing 24 packaged strips of suboxone, which is a prescription opiate substitute similar to methadone,

 two plastic bags containing a total weight of one-half-pound of marijuana,

 one 16-ounce water bottle containing vodka, and

 one razor blade.

say "oh, they should sit in jail and think about it, get off the drugs."

There are more drugs available in some prisons than on the streets. Prison is the last place for addicts.

But unless someone can make bank off of another's physical and mental weakness, we will have no progressive addiction treatment in this nation unless, of course, you are loaded.
