Correctional Service Canada (CSC) says it intercepted a package containing contraband at Collins Bay Institution earlier this week.
Monday, around 9:30 p.m., correctional staff found a package containing marijuana, tobacco, cigars, two cell phones, a charger, earbuds and a “chatter card” in a package outside the perimeter of the federal penitentiary.
CSC believes the package was meant to be thrown over the walls of the institution.
