Correctional Service Canada (CSC) has seized a significant amount of contraband at Atlantic Institution, a maximum security prison in New Brunswick, Canada, on August 31, 2023. The items seized, valued at an estimated $112,150, included handmade alcohol, edged weapons, cell phones, hashish, cannabis concentrate, vaping devices, a USB key, and a USB card reader.
The prison authorities are employing various measures to prevent contraband from entering the facilities. These include the use of ion scanners and drug-detector dogs for searches of buildings, properties, inmates, and visitors.
CSC has also established an anonymous tip line at 1-866-780-3784 for individuals to report any instances of contraband or suspicious activities within federal institutions. They have emphasized that these actions could potentially pose a threat to the safety and security of the inmates, visitors, and staff members in CSC institutions.
