Drugs Smuggled into Prison by Throwing Over Prison Wall

Drugs Smuggled into Prison by Throwing Over Prison Wall

A female suspect and three male suspects were arrested recently near Marquette Branch Prison in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula after trying to throw illegal drugs into the prison yard. They had an accomplice inside the prison yard who was there to pick up the packets of drugs. The four were later released as the investigation continues. Illegal drugs were also found in the cell of an inmate in the prison. The Michigan State Corrections Department said a smuggling attempt like this one was “unusual.”

People do desperate things when they’re addicted to or dependent on drugs. Whether the drug in question is cocaine, meth, heroin, marijuana, PCP, prescription pills, synthetic drugs like bath salts or synthetic marijuana, people are often unable to make rational decisions. And the craving for drugs can lead to irrational behavior, as in this case, or worse—violence or hard crime. Fortunately, there is good news. The best remedy for drug dependence is the same as it’s always been: a good program of treatment at a top-rated facility with caring staff.

If you or someone you know has a problem with addiction or dependence to synthetic drugs, you should seek help now. Thankfully, there is good help available. Detoxification and behavioral therapy have proven to be effective in treating drug dependence. Addicts are often unable to complete treatment on their own or with family members, so it’s very important to seek the right treatment center.
