Calls For Assistance On Drug Smuggling In Prisons Unanswered One thing that remains the same during the course of the COVID-19 Pandemic is the amount of drugs being smuggled into New York State Prisons. New York State Correctional Officers Benevolent Association is once again calling on the the New State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision to implement a program that will help detect, and eventually completely deter, drug smuggling into prisons. Regional Vice President for NYSCOPBA Bryan Hluska believes the majority of the contraband and/or illegal substances are coming directly from the U.S. Mail. Hluska says union leadership is requesting the implementation of the Secure Vendor Program.
