These images were submitted by a C1 member and found in a prison in Indiana. They are of an offender’s Nintendo DS games, sold on commissary.

During a cell search, the C1 member came across the console that had a game inside of it. Upon inspecting the console for any type of pry marks or missing screws, it looked fine -- but when they removed the DS game that was inside, they noted tha the back looked strange.

They removed the sticker from the back of the game, and quickly saw that there was a mini SD card within. It became clear that the DS was a mini SD card reader.

Essentially, the offender had broken the original game and removed the circuitry that runs the game. They then hid the mini SD inside, allowing the game to look as though it functions normally.
