They found 18 cellular phones; a SIM card; 10 phone chargers; 11 earpieces; two phone batteries; three phone cases; 12 charger heads and a mirror.
Also found were a quantity of wires and construction nails; two pairs of scissors; a tweezer; improvised weapons; a quantity of dried cannabis and 16 lighters.
Despite tighter systems and security cameras, the prohibited items have been finding themselves into the prisons.
Overtime, a number of prison officers have been charged.
