Seizure of Contraband and Unauthorized Items at Collins Bay Institution
November 26, 2024
(Kingston, ON) – On November 25, 2024, staff at Collins Bay Institution, a maximum-security federal institution, intercepted and seized a package containing contraband and unauthorized items.
The package, which was addressed to an inmate, contained the following:
- 200 grams of marijuana
- 20 grams of cocaine
- 100 tablets of prescription medication
- 5 cell phones
- 3 USB drives
The seizure was made as part of an ongoing effort by Correctional Service Canada (CSC) to prevent the introduction of contraband and unauthorized items into its institutions. These items pose a serious threat to the safety and security of staff and inmates, and can facilitate criminal activity.
CSC uses a variety of tools to prevent the introduction of contraband, including ion scanners, drug-sniffing dogs, and intelligence gathering. Staff are also trained to recognize and intercept suspicious packages.
The inmate to whom the package was addressed has been charged with possession of contraband. CSC is also investigating the source of the package and the individuals involved in its delivery.
“The seizure of this contraband is a testament to the vigilance and dedication of our staff,” said Joe Murphy, Warden of Collins Bay Institution. “We are committed to maintaining a safe and secure environment for our staff and inmates.”
CSC encourages the public to report any suspicious activity related to contraband or unauthorized items in institutions. Information can be reported anonymously by calling the CSC Tip Line at 1-800-361-8138.
