$90,000 in meth, contraband seized at Sask. Pen
Officers at the maximum-security unit of the Saskatchewan Penitentiary near Prince Albert seized over $90,000 in methamphetamines and banned goods such as a cellphone, a charger and tobacco recently.
Corrections Canada said the seizure was a result of vigilant correctional officers, a detector-dog team and intelligence officers.
The value of the items is what they are worth in the penitentiary.
Inmates in the maximum-security unit were put on lockdown while staff did a general search on July 16.
