Mixed in with the birthday cards, I miss you notes and holiday greetings, jail officers found a children's Christmas drawing laced with fentanyl.
Commissioner Molina told city council members most of the drugs are being mailed into the facility.The chair of the committee, Council Member Carlina Rivera, isn't convinced it's the primary way of entering and believes the DOC could be doing more to stop the flow of drugs.
In addition to the mail, Commissioner Molina said people visiting inmates are also bringing illegal drugs into the facility. Last year, 56 people were caught doing so along with two correction officers. The Department of Correction's solution is to hire a company to electronically scan all of the mail that comes into the jail and allow inmates to view that mail on electronic tablets."We want to make sure that one, it's accessible and affordable and two, that we're not removing one of the I think most human elements, that is tangible mail that comes in from your family members," Rivera said.
