Hodge told the media in a report last week that the massive haul raises suspicion of staff involvement in the smuggling of the items into the Prisons.

Alcohol in plastic bottles were thrown over the prison wall. Lighters and cell phones were found hidden in various items like mop heads, bed foam, rolls of toilet paper, the soles of shoes and wooden bed frames.

Batteries and foil were used to charge cell phones. Tobacco and  approximately 8 lbs of marijuana and a small about of crack-cociane were seized. Also seized were matches and wrappers used for smoking.

A glance through the items pictured and found shows the tremendous creativity of the inmates in the way they concealed their contraband items as well as how they constructed and operated certain gadgets to facilitate the operation of items such as the cell phones.
