Coloring Book Drugs

http://www.mandatory.com/2013/03/06/the-craziest-drug-smuggling-schemes/2

Prisoners in Cape May, New Jersey, were able to disguise drugs on the pages of a children's coloring book. The opiate drug Suboxone was dissolved into a past and painted onto several pages of an innocent color book, which had drawings on it such as a child's writing "Hi, Daddy." These prisoners were able to successfully smuggle these drugs into prison and it wasn't until a tip led authorities to test the paper that it was discovered that there was drugs painted onto the pages.
Crazy right?

  1. This is crazy! I feel that prisoners are always trying to find a way to smuggle in something. This is really unfortunate too, because the drawing is something sentimental from their children. I think it is time to take some drastic measures in order to stop this from happening.
