The package was filled with tobacco, drugs, cell phones and cell phone accessories. The total estimated institutional value
of the contents is $79,350, CSC says.
Federal institutions use a number of tools to prevent drugs from entering its institutions, like ion scanners and drug-detector dogs to search buildings, personal property, inmates and visitors.
CSC says the package was intercepted due to the vigilance of Bath Institution staff.
