$150,000 in contraband seized from Sask. Pen.   

Over three days last week, staff at the Saskatchewan Penitentiary helped with the seizure of multiple banned or illegal items that are worth just under $150,000 inside the prison.  

The contraband included methamphetamine, cocaine, THC concentrate, tobacco, a cell phone and charger, a USB card reader and rolling papers.  

Corrections Canada did not specify if any charges were laid or if the RCMP have been called to investigate.  

CSC uses ion scanners and drug dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates and visitors.
