Phones, marijuana, sharp instruments unearthed in Prison search
A joint services search of the Camp Street Prison, yesterday unearthed sharp instruments, cellular phones, money and marijuana, according to Prison sources.
Joint services ranks converged on the central prison that houses remand and convicted prisoners, placing several roadblocks around the facility. It was disclosed that the search was initiated after one inmate in solitary confinement Tyrone Rowe called “Cobra” attacked a prison-warden, Principle Officer “Charles” who was carrying out searches in the said block.

This resulted in the officer receiving minor injuries when he along with other prison wardens tried to subdue the inmate.
This prompted the Joint Service intervention to search the facility for more illegal items. The death row division was also searched.
