Staff members at Lee Arrendale State Prison made an unusual find that prevented illegal contraband from getting into the women’s prison in Alto.
The Georgia Department of Corrections posted a photo Friday on Twitter of a deflated football and hundreds of cigarettes and several packs of rolling papers. The photo shows 32 bundles of the contraband bound with clear plastic wrap and what appears to be blue painters tape.
“Thanks to diligent staff at Lee Arrendale State Prison, an altered football was discovered between the fences, which contained approximately 600 cigarettes & 6 packs of rolling papers,” the GDC says in the tweet.
It’s one of several photos posted to the GDC Twitter account of contraband found at various prisons across the state.
The Lee Arrendale post is marked with #notonourwatch.
