‘Tampon’ drug canister

A correctional officer working in a Canadian facility submitted these photos of contraband confiscated from a female inmate.

“I found this while strip searching a female inmate,” the officer said. “This inmate was not expecting to be asked to remove her tampon. The canister was filled with pills that our medical department could not identify.”

This is certainly not the first time a female inmate has attempted to smuggle drugs into a facility using this strategy.
