Another well-wrapped parcel of contraband was discovered at Her Majesty’s Prison Northward over the weekend, after apparently being tossed over the prison’s perimeter double-fences.

Director of Prisons Neil Lavis said the package included vegetable matter resembling ganja (weighing nearly two pounds), and a bottle containing with what appeared to be Bailey’s Rum Cream.

The items were found behind the new vocational training early Friday morning, 9 August, during a routine perimeter check. Officers check the double-fences and the surrounding areas at varying times each day.

Mr. Lavis added that the daily staff briefings emphasise the importance of being alert to the movement of contraband in all areas, including the entrance gate, on the cellblocks, in the general areas of the compound, as well as while monitoring the security cameras.

As usual, the intercepted drugs were turned over to the Royal Cayman Islands Police. Anyone found either throwing contraband into a prison compound is liable to criminal prosecution.
