lol most jails stopped paper mail long ago
I’ve been to cook county one time. It’s too bad unfortunately people are overdosing but let’s just be real a good 75% of the people who work there are allowing that stuff to come in and they even get paid to let that stuff come in I’m sure they won’t really talk about that much
It’s doesn’t have to be synthetic drugs. You do it with meth, lsd, fentanyl etc. you just dilute and soak. Been happening for decades lmao
nothing new. In the 1980's and 90's they used to put LSD glue on the back of stamps
Chicago politics as usual.
The snaper 😂😂
This is old news they've been doing this for so long I got out of prison in 2018 in Michigan and the whole time I was in prison for seven years they were getting this stuff from China and dropping it on the envelope and then they cut it up and smoke it after they make brown paper towel into a blunt wrap by using coffee grinds and turning it into a tar😂 and then they put Suboxone threats under where you seal the envelope
Dont do drugs people
Wow! they're just figuring this out now? this has been common knowledge (for jail staff and inmates) for well over 20+ years! they even replaced the regular paper stamps with ink stamps on all incoming inmate mail in the early 1990's (at least in Oregon) after learning that drugs (primarily just LSD at that time) were being saturated in paper.
Good old division 9. I don't miss that place at all.
So craxy
Start with getting the dirty Kkkops out 👮🐽
Why bother, let the drugs in and let the die.
Since they open all the mail why not just make a copy of the original letter? That way they are only getting paper that the correction center is using.
ITS CALLED PAPER PLANE ON RIKERS ISLAND 😅😅😅
The good ol dip n mail…
It’s not just in cook county it’s in Colorado private facilities it’s crazy how they allow it to happen but they do so many overdoses so illegal!!!!
TALK ABOUT HOW THE POLICE GETTING PAID TO LET IT IN THE COUNTY
👍 GOOD JOB DEPUTIES
Republicans should just point to Chicago as to what can happen when you have democrats in charge
We were doing that in va 20yrs ago.
Guards bringing it in!
Roach spray? Cmon now is a high that serious tho.
That Fetty hit the jail hit them with narcan ya idiots
That’s a good idea put all the overdose drugs in the system and they can all have fun. Mental midget cretins lol
My son is in Butler County Jail in Pennsylvania. If I mail him a letter, I must mail it to a Florida address, where they send the inmate a photocopy of the letter. I pay for email for us to correspond.
Why don’t they photocopy contents inside envelopes and giving the inmates copies, not the originals. Destroy the originals
When I was in prison with people to do is crush up pills and put it in children's finger paint and then they would put like a handprint and then they peel the paint off and then they'd get high like that
That roach spray stuff is a big myth! If anyone is really putting roach spray on paper they are dumb as all hell. But it’s just K2, deuce or spice. I just got out of Federal Prison and that’s what is on the market everywhere. This had been going on for years now.
Saving taxpayers money so who cares
As a former correction officer i know that inmates have drugs melted down on back of mail where you lick the sticky outline of the envelope as well as the stamps using legal mail which can't be inspected as intently.
Pretty simple fix , books and magazines only accepted directly from the publishers. Give the inmates photo copies of the letters people send.
The Deputies in the Jail facilities are extortion and collaborating with the crooked inmates that's why it happened. Don't be naive peoples.😂
So what was that mix? Spray 5 separate times?
I'm from UK and was smashing the legal paper then it got banned every thing is photocopied now
Why don't they just do what the prison does give him a tablet imprison you don't get a physical letter you get a picture of the letter
Let them overdose!
They hide it behind stamps. I was a Corrections Officer, and they all get high and make their own achochol 😊
Wtf all those white guards that place is not an equal opportunity employer
Marijuana being a drug is crazy.
And why do inmates have lighters and matches?
This to my innocent readers this been going on for the past 40 years wake up my kiddos
It's amazing that we put these people in prison for doing wrong and they live like kings, have no responsibility whatsoever, get all types of privileges. Thought they are supposed to be punished. To me that's, no tv, no internet, no game systems, no amenities like home. They are supposed to be punished and we fluff them up like stay puff marshmalloen and cushion their stay for what. Give em bread, water, electrolytes and call it good. Our prisons are just as soft as the current administration. Just a joke. No one learns their lesson. That's why people don't care about going to prison because they have it made. Just sickening.
Let them get high. Who cares? If you’re stupid enough to smoke paper, you deserve what comes with it🤦🏽♂️
This has been a way of smuggling drugs into prisons, especially like San Quentin for decades.
