IN JAMAICA: Big contraband bust at Tower Street correctional centre

 Wednesday. February 23. 2022

Officers at the Tower Street Adult Correctional Centre in Kingston have busted a contraband smuggling enterprise at the facility.

Some time yesterday, numerous packages of uncustomed cigarettes, ganja, alcohol and lighters were found in a staff locker room. 

However, the Department of Correctional Service (DCS) says no one has been identified as the owner of the items.

A day after the contraband bust, Zavia Mayne, state minister in the Ministry of National Security, highlighted that the new Corrections Act imposes harsher penalties for possession of prohibited items in prison.

He did not address the latest contraband bust but warned that no breach would be tolerated.
