WATERTOWN â Thereâs no doubt that corrections personnel throughout the stateâs penal system confront an uphill battle in keeping contraband from reaching inmates. Drugs and weapons continue to find their way into prisons. A news item published March 25 in the Watertown Daily Times reported the following about an incident at the Cape Vincent Correctional Facility: âThe New York State Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association said in a statement [March 24] that on March 9, an officer observed an inmate unsteady on his feet in the prisonâs recreation yard. The inmate was brought to the infirmary for evaluation where the inmate allegedly reached into his pant pockets and pulled out an unknown object, which he swallowed. According to the union, officers frisked the inmate and found two Suboxone strips [used to treat opioid addiction] in his possession. Medical staff determined the inmate was under the influence of drugs, the union said.
