Woman Arrested for Attempting to Smuggle Crystal Meth into Prison

A woman was arrested yesterday, Sunday, while attempting to smuggle 17 grams of crystal meth into the Central Prisons during a visit to an inmate. The arrest was made after surveillance of the visiting room due to information about a possible drug supply to the inmate. The inmate had previously attempted to smuggle drugs into prison during transport to court, raising suspicions. During the check, the woman was found in possession of the crystal meth, which will be sent for analysis to the State Chemistry. The Prisons have specially trained guards, specialized inspection equipment, and work closely with the YKAN to prevent the introduction of drugs.
