‘MURICA — Drones have been used more than a dozen times within the last five years to smuggle contraband into correctional facilities. <br /> <br />Back in the day, getting contraband behind bars involved bribing prison guards or getting visitors to jam a whole bunch of junk up their poop shoots. <br /> <br />Now inmates are having drones do their drops offs for them instead, USA Today reported. <br /> <br />As drones drop in price and become easier to operate, they’re increasingly being used to transport contraband into federal and state penitentiaries. <br /> <br />Smuggling stuff into prison is a federal offense, but no statute currently bans drones from flying near prisons. <br /> <br />Enterprising inmates have used drones to drop off all kinds of things like mobile phones as well as some much needed narcotics and other drugs. <br /> <br />Of course who can get through the long and lonely nights without your daily dose of prison porn. <br /> <br />And you can forget about your trusty shank, with delivery drones, guns can be transported too. <br /> <br />As correctional facilities scramble to develop new countermeasures, Amazon want to might think about a new market — Amazon Prison Air.
